Walds a nice KIT not to overly done like some kits but I think the SL is perfect as is. If you look at the Wald kit it doesnt make a huge of a difference so if you want my opinion keep the money and use it for something like performance or rims. Just my two cents

If interested let me know as I have one of these kits in stock. I personally like the kit as it compliments the lines of the SL. I will be happy to PM you a price...

Isnt the Wald kit a add on??? so you dont have to take the bumpers or the side skirts off the kit just adds on to the bumpers?? I think thats a very nice kit it makes the car looks like it has a wide body. Also how much do they retail?

Yes I agree with the Brabus kits.

The Wald side skirts are a bit low but like any other kit w/ a lowered car you have to just be a little more careful.

Brabus looks better IMHO. The rims help the looks on both cars. The max ammount of white looks great though.

It depends on what kind of round tips you go with. Ive seen some nice round ones on our SL500. It looks good for not having to cut the bumpers but if I had a choice I would go with the AMG ones but hate the fact that I have to get the bumper cut!!

Cool

How about this ?

But i'm still prefer the Brabus kit looks better in real !

Brabus give more elegance

Wald give more younger style, and much japanese looks.

Debate ??

Looks good...clean and simple but yet it gives it an extra fine touch on the body.
