THANKS!!!!

Big difference from the '07 SL 500. I can notice a big improvement in the steering feel and overall power. Not usually a white person, but you have to see this one in the sunlight!!! Its been raining for the last few days, and it's supposed to rain the next 2-3 still, so I'll pull it out this weekend and take lots more pics, including the interior. Also, now I can watch dvd's when parked, the old command system would allow dvd's to be played regardless.. Also really like the new iphone/ipod universal charger and connector, and of course the new 19"ers!!!

What?

My '07 SL was a 500, not a 550, so it cant be the same as my 09 (or the 08)- same motor yes, but different displacement and HP/Torque.

Damn, sikhkd, that is a really sharp set of color choices. I originally thought the wheels were a little over the top, but now that I see the seats, it all comes together within the black body just perfectly! Excellent!
