Pulled trigger on 04 SL600!

Just pulled the trigger on a 2004 SL600.
Was looking to buy an 07 S550, but suddenly this SL600 pops up!

Got the car with extended CPO for an additional 2 years...

gonna love the turbos!

Did you just screw your front plate into the bumper? They do have a front mounting bracket for the car. Part# 2308850481 for non sport bumpers.

The dealer just screwed it in...
I think thats what the previous owner did too. I might take it off soon though.

congrats

You are in for a treat. If you put 19's on it you will find the handling better.
The AMG tail ligts are a necessary option IMO. A quaife rear end and an ECU tune and you'll never get out of it.

Kokanee, is it just a quad exhaust tips or real AMG exhaust system?
Where did you purchase them? Have you cut the rear valence?

quad tip exhaust

I had an Eisenman race exhaust (all SS) put on and the factory AMG rear skirt. I didnt like the look of a cut skirt. The exhaust was mmade to fit the factory skirt. Sound is much better than stock exhaust but not SL55 good. The AMG side skirts are being painted now.
