Jonnyml500, nevermind. I found your post with a poll on your tail lights. So you put two silver strips... I thought you had the newer tail lights, and added a red stripp down the center. Either way...

And you can still post more pictures of the girl in the gray if you have any

My 2003 SL 500 just replaced 18" AMG wheels for 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear DRIV Strasse wheels with 245/30/20 front and 305/25/20 rear tires. I guess were I live the roads are not that bad because the ride quality hasn't change that much. I absolutely love this staggered setup.
I know
I know before anyone says it, I need to lower it, but I just can't justify 1700 to 2000 dollars for a lowering module.
