We highly recommend Evosport products. Dale at Evosport is a good man, give him a call and he'll take care of you.

Engine wise, I don't think you've left anything off! How much of a drop did you get with Renntech module?

Sounds like you've got yourself a heck of a ride now. Enjoy!

Hey, call me a greenhorn, but what is a pulley kit? Someone PM me and let me know. I too have a 2003 SL500 and am looking to do some mods.

this is the pulley kit , it doesnt add much horsepower but it does realesse some power beacuse of the way they are design & weight thats lighter for example geting rid of ure engine fan and puting a electric one..

not HID yet, you can get a HID kit and just customize it, from the looks of the sound system(which is SICK) you should know how to customize lol

YO AMIR PG your sl looks sick! i love the black outs. tell me what size rims are those 20 by what?

you can upgrade your fog lights to hid but you may need a adapter because of the low power output with the canbus system our fog lights use. that would be perfect for your ride with the black outs.
here's a link to one guys who sells conversion hid kits.http://www.fashtek.com/?gclid=CIuMoN...FRGCGgodaUtm7Q call him first and ask him all the questions you have. and also speak to someone who knows more about the canbus system.

i plan to upgrade my fogs to hid as soon as i finish my bumper upgrade to the 07' amg bumper and fogs

rims are 20" 295 in the back in the front if im not mistaken 245 , & no this is a professional job that they use special paint its not the paint we use to spray on, they look black just like the paint of the car but it doesnt effect the lighting also its very nice with only seeing LEDz in the tail lights here is some pics..

How does the Eisenmann exhaust sound? I am looking to ditch my AMG exhaust for a deeper more throaty sounding note, like a V8 should sound. What was your cost?
