Whoa!!

I took the SL to the body shop today. And $9,000 later it won't have rock chips!! Thank god for insurance!!

But the silver lining is I am getting new headlights and fog lights!! Those should look really nice. Also I asked to get my old parts returned (ebay baby!).

Oh man that's too bad. On the plus side, when we get them back they'll be all shiny.

As for the motor, it has a weak 2.8L V6, thats the stock motor.

Nice pics thanks!

That sounds like a nice project to upgrade it.

They were just replaced with new OEM lights. The old ones got pitted when the car got damaged. Also they were not nearly as clean and clear as the new ones.
