Thanks-

wazzup mikeblah, thats a wind screen a friend and myself created from plexi-glass and tint. it allows u to use the roll bars and keep the wind down at the same time, plus it gives u some extra privacy as well. if you interested in one let me know where making some for sale!
Hello Gpa,

I wanted to see if you can give me some info on that screen you are building. I was also thinking about making one. But if you have done all the work, i do not mind paying for it.

Please PM pricing.

Thanks.

Hey Kirb, are those Carlsson 1/11's 20"? looks awsome! as always, your pics are eceptional! Only one complaint though... where are the hot models that usually grace your ride? I want to see hot chics on the front of that beautiful automobile with the new rims! where did you get them and if you don't mind me asking, what $$$ did you pay for them? I might change oout of my OZ's...

CLK and Just Bought a SL500
Here is my 03 SL500

I just picked this 03 SL500 Designo edition up last Friday. This is the dealers photo and I just ordered 19 on Pilot PS2's. next is tint all around, then either powerchip, Renntech, Brabus, or AMG. Just want to get it closest to 500HP under the cost of buying a SL600.

Also this is my 98 CLK on 18's and my 100th anniversary 03 Harley V-rod and C320 I just sold.

What are your plans to get from 300p to 500hp? The Renntech supercharger takes you to about 440hp and starts at $15,000 just for the parts. Any chips you get will at most get you a 10% increase from the 300hp. I would just buy an SL55 rather than drop cash that you will never see a return on.

New Image Motorsports / Red 04 SL

Here's a few pics of my 2004 SL500. I own a car dealership and we specialize in sales and customization of high end cars. This was my clients (superstar NFL player) car and I took it in on trade towards his new car. I put the wheels on it a week ago and decided to keep it. I have had just about every car you can dream of and this car is up there with the best. The wheels are chrome GFG Forged Trento 5 20" x 9" (3 inch lip) in the front, and 20" x 11" (4 inch lip) in the rear. The tires are Continental ContiSportContact 3 255/30/20 in the front and 305/25/20 in rear. It has 30,000 miles on it and I will probably drive it many more.

2004 SL500 on GFG Trento 5

This is my mars red 2004 Sl500 with GFG Forged Trento 5 rims. The wheels are 20 x 9 (front) and 20 x 11 (rear). The tires are Continental Contisportcontact 3 255/30/20 in front and 305/25/20 in the rear. The wheel lips are 3" deep in front and 4" deep in the back. The wheels and tires only have 100 miles on them and the car has 31,000 miles on it. I am considering selling it so if you are interested or would like to make an honest offer please let me know. By the way it has the upgraded light maple wood package w/ wood steering wheel/shift knob and a 100,000 mile Mercedes factory warranty. I took this car in on trade from one of my NFL Superstar Probowler clients. I have owned the car for about 2 months and have put about 4,000 miles on it if that tells you how much I like it. I will also sell the wheels and tires if anyone is interested. Please let me know what you think about the car. If you have any questions please contact me at (214)454-8466. Thanks.

You would should have no problem selling that car. Previously owned by a NFL Superstar Probowler - WOW!!!!!, and luckily hardly any used SL500's on the market.
