Mod Help

Im deciding which mods to do for my car. I have a 2003 White SL500. I purchased Foose Chip D5 Black Rims, 20x8.5, 20x10. Im installing a magnaflow quad exhaust with the resontors being taken out similar to my clk500. I already have the renntech air intake with green filters and about to install the evo pullys, sprintbooster and speed tuning usa stage 2 tuning. Now I need help with choosing between lorinser, amg 65, or brabus body kit and whether to put lambo doors or not. Also does anyone have a rough idea of the cost of lowering the SL. What do you guys think of tinting the headlights and/or tail lights or mb just the middle strip of the tail light. Any other suggestions will be appreciated. Thnx

MB Cars, LOL!
if you want to lower it, i would suggest you take it to a shop that has the same system as mercedes for lowering or buy a lowering module.

i would go aftermarket body kit instead of amg... it makes me look like a poor copy cat of the more expansive sl65... just my 2cents. good luck
