Took your advice. Red calipers, more black less yellow....

Painted the calipers red. Upgraded to single fin Grille and did the CF rear lip.
Here are some photos. Cloudy day and iphone does not show the true pearl color...

tint side marker, put the AMG tail lights and the SL65 front bumper and rear diffuser black series style, then its the crazy good looking car!

You are so close to have the SL looking completely stunning (in my opinion).

Opinions are like *******s, I know...but...

Wheels are too much. Black centers would complete the accents, set the car off, tie in the theme, and the yellow are just "too much".

Front 1 slat grill looks nice, but go with black like the rest of the trim.

Tint the front bumper light with dark film.

Paint exhaust tips black (to tie in with spoiler and rest of metal trim).

Take pics

My 3 cents!

Thanks guys.

If you knew how much $$$ I've already spent on a car that the dealer was only going to give me $22k for you'd probably stop at what I've already done. Sheesh, it only has 44,000 miles. I like the bumper and blacking ideas but I'm too fond of the yellow rims. You'd have to see them in person actually.

The JL system sounds unreal.

Looking at lowering.

Thank you.

WOW, out west I would think you've seen everything. It really looks nice in person. Several coats of pearl.
