this little wider than your stock blackseries kit, More agressive. Very stabil when drive hard. Bur should have engine to back up the look.

This is Misha Design kit, full carbon defuser, front center, all what y see on hood and in back on side.is carbon , Hood openings also ear out alot of the heat from engine room, can warm y hands ,drive and put hands by mirror,. Defuser is real agressive F1 style .

You have the same kit is I have. The red compliments the look of the kit.

I purchased an already completed car but, yeah, I can imagine that is unnerving.

Everywhere I go, someone compliments the car and they go out of their way to do so. I said it before but the car is a rockstar.

lol sl500 drivers in a nutshell, cool & unique build tho, Yeah when you go wide body better have the power to back it up, cause there's plenty of mustangs and vettes will try you. I like to get a widebody similar to tommyboy. but i want to atleast have 700hp reliably.

hi siksl:

just two questions
- please supply the model number of those rotiform wheels and
- did you have to add spacers to get the wheels at the correct width or was the new wheels at the correct offset ?
regards Charl

Friend, you did an amazing job on that SL...congratulations.....
I bet you you are not married because wives always want to take too much of your fun time!
I wonder what happens if you take for a ride a girlfriend weighting over 200 lbs..? Will the wheels rub against the fenders???
I also purchased a screwed up SL 500 same year silver, but I was happy to return it to its standard shape with no ABC. I bet you you easily dropped 15 grand to take it to that shape..! But...as you know...money is to be spent in things that make you happy!
