pricing for fab design bodykit?

i'm looking to find the pricing for the fab design bodykit with exhaust. I'd also like to know the pricing for the kit without the side skirts because I like the lorinser side skirts a lot more. How much do the lorinser side skirts cost?

Lastly, I'd like to know the pricing for Lowenhart LDR and GFG GF15 wheels in 20x11 and 20x9.5 sizes with tires. thanks.

Er, you're not going to adorn an SL with a skirt and bra etc, are you?

It looks pretty good as it is - don't you think?....

You could always contact the manufacturer, but IMHO, they should be paying you to ruin your SL with their tat. That payment should at least cover the extra depreciation you will suffer through messing with it...

haha alright.....i guess instead of spending the extra $10k on the kit, and $7k on the wheels, get an SL55. I think that is a better idea

That's more like it.

Custom add ons do of course individualize your car but they probably make it less saleable; you could always have the AMG body kit on a standard SL which is more cost effective.

Neither. IMO, if you are going to get an SL55 - don't go for 20" wheels as you are compromising safety in a high-performance car. I like the turbine stock wheels as well as the 5 spokes. If you must upgrade, the 19" multi pc twin spokes AMG's are very nice. If you do not want OEM wheels, HRE's look superb on SL's. My $.02.

GFGs on an SL? are you serious? even lowenharts is not such a good idea!!!

but hey man if you want fab design parts, i can hook you up. its hella expensive though. the front is about 2500 and so is the rear. the full eshaust system with those center quarter circle tips is a whopping 5Gs!!
