Looks more like an SLK than an SLR. Too much of a downgrade for me.

I may be the only one who thinks this, but I'm not convinced that the extravagant styling of the SLR actually makes for a better looking car than an SL.

The R129 in the ebay link just looks ridiculous.

Some of the mods look Okay in certain colors. But, I would rather put the money into performance mods and new wheels. The SL looks great as is. especially the full AMG sport package.
