A few pictures of my SL600
I replaced my SL55 with a '04 SL600 with the Renntech level 1 ECU/TCU. Personally I find the SL600 a much more refined beast over the SL55. The ride is much more forgiving and the power is just amazing! The seats and wood steering wheel are a nice touch as well.
This car has the Pano roof, keyless go, voice, and AMG sport package.
So far so good, I have put 1,300 miles on it so far!
Take care! Glad to be back in another R230.

1 Suggestion you should paint ALL your badges to match the AMG65 wheel color, it'll set it off!!

Thanks! I have received many compliments so far, it really changed the look. Now I am debating putting on SL55 tails or just getting mine tinted so the whole tail is smoked.
I did not lower the car, it must look lower with the set. I bought the wheel and tire combo from www.tirerack.com
They made it easy because they wheels were already gunmetal with the polished lip, mounted & balanced with Bridgestones and the TPMS installed.
The only thing I had to do was take the car to the dealer and have the set put on. I used my OEM painted centercaps, but you could get solid color caps if you like.

Thanks! I think I paid around $2,500 shipped, all new wheels, tires, TPMS, and mounted/balanced. Can't beat that deal anywhere!

Looking great. Next up: SL55 lights (LED) rather than smoked, SL55 3rd brake light (smoked) and the SL55 dual tip exhaust. To do the exhaust right you need the AMG rear skirt. Adds up but updates it and well worth it IMO. I did them in that order and it looks like a different car. Looks like you already have the sport? package with the AMG style front bumper and the AMG style side skirts. Just have to part with the ECU for a week sometime.

Mine does have the sport package, Pano, and Keyless Go.
Thanks!

Hmmm where to start?
"it cost me close to $4,500! The set is balanced with brand new tire pressure monitor sensors."
Guess install costs $2k where your from
Then you obviously added and are rocking FAKE AMG badges on fenders?
Yet you state here you only added...
I also added the SL65 V12 Biturbo badges on the fenders. This gives the car a unique look and boasts the powerplant under the hood.
"Where can I get a Renntech emblem?"
BTW your FAKE badging is too low on the fenders
& what gives w/lame tiny AMG badging? you obviously omitted that little secret from your original post/pix you can deff see it's on there now that I have a blown up pic to compare to your other far off shots...
You state here that you had RENNtech stg 1 ECU/TCU done to your 2004 SL600, yet in your add per Ebay you list nothing extra besides REPLICA wheels & FAKE AMG badges
And your add also states.....
Vehicle title: Clear (most titles)
I have the clear title in hand.
Or (b) you had to return it to stock for smog etc..
