2009 SL550
Newb...
Okay, I passed on a 09 997 S Cabriolet and got a 09 SL550 (mostly due to my local MB dealership and the AWESOME customer service from cradle to grave). I am now the proud owner of an 09 SL550 packaged as follows:
    I had a C350 Sport that I traded in, and have had since they were released, so I am hoping I have as much fun with this as I did with the C350. We put some 19 inch MB wheels on it, and I am going to tint the windows...looking for more mods to personalize it.

    I look forward to the forum and advice/recommendations.

    Wes

    Hi Uvavi8r

    Congratualtions on your new purchase. I bought mine just a few months ago. These cars are very exciting...especially, weather permitting, with the top down.

    IMHO your next mod might be to lower your car which will set nicely on your 19" inchers. When you get a chance post a photo of your new ride.

    Cheers
    Tom
