Wow....the interior looks pretty nice. Nice work on the car.

tips?? bah! thats riceboy crap! i thinks its cheesy to add a bunch of exhaust tips, especially if its a 500, unless the engine is heavily modded. the 55 is already pushing it with 4, though its well done. IMO.

It has to be custom made.. no US dealers sell starless grills, tho they can be found in europe.

Re: Latest round of mods..

Hey JL88 that is one badd *** ride...I'm glad to see you made the car that you dreamed of instead of "dropping 10 grand at brabus/cec to make it a PHAT CAR" but anyways are you looking into showing that car at shows or what not? if so please email me. Thanks

I believe it was TWS? I'm not sure about their contact information, I'm pretty sure JL88 has it.

yeh, i love that grill. It looks very individual. Pity its not the supercharged V8. How much does a grill like that cost?

By the way, looking at that gearknob, i remember how cool i like the SLR one with aluminium and a flip-up switch for the starter, ala missile switch. I wonder if it would be possible to get a spare part of mercedes to fit on on the SL, as it looks and probably is a direct fit. If so, I will be getting one in my (imaginary, dream) car.
