My new Renntech Air intake and Clear Corners

Just wanted to show off some new items I intalled.

New clear corners


New Air Intake




Now need to find some nice looking 20" rims and tires for under 3.5K.
Not to much in a hurry because i really like these Turbines.

Where did you get the clear side markers from?

Your car really looks sharp. Did you lower your car?

The car is not lowered. it is the stock hight.

Jay and anoOoj, I did not feel any differnce with the intake, I how ever felt a big difference with my exhaust mod.
click here for link https://mbworld.org/forums/sl-class-r230/134095-my-sl-500-w-o-muffler-sound-clip.html

ChrisSL, i have the stock bulbs for now thinking on ordering a white LED. Wanted to see hows yours will turn out first. Have you had a chance to install them, remember to post some pics.

hbluthi, not sure what you mean about "feel the difference at SOTP"

Oh, thanks for the info.

But no i could not feel any differanece at all. I was really surprised thought i thought it would make a differnce at least a little bit.

I do not think it really was worth it.
