Grats on the car. I have a Black/Berry Red SL500 in the Hacienda Heights/Rowland Heights/City of Industry area. If you're interested in modifying the SL, head over to The Wheel Supply.

they'll take care of you.

LAYMA123,


You didn't by chance trade in your White/Charcoal W208 430 with Navigation and the Black Birdseye Maple Steering wheel did you? Did you buy that car from our dealership as well? BTW, congrats on the SL500!!!
