After i get the AMG bumpers we can be twins heh. I like your wheels, what size are they? I'm thinking of going back to 19s, the 20s look good but ride a little rough, esp when i have it on the lowest suspension setting. I just got this car and is my first Benz, so still have lots to learn.
I'm glad I went with them over the 20s as I don't think I could tolerate the ride, but the 20s do look awesome on these cars.

I'm also looking into doing a cheap widebody route, instead of doing the full SL63 headlight one, i can pick up this kit and reuse my headlights.
What do you guys think? I plan on re-using my stock hood, and i already have the spoiler so i just need the front bumper, fenders, and sideskirts. I have experience in autobody as well so if it fits like crap, i'll make it fit like less crap. This kit looks clean from what i can see.

the pictures do look nice though, i need to see it in person i guess. I saw that SL55 with the same kit for sale on CarsGuru, i believe it has 178K miles, a salvage title, and asking price of 37K what the eff? ...wish my car came with the AMG bumpers, the non-amg bumpers i have now looks rather weak, and i cannot find any OEM AMG bumpers for the life of me.

SL65 front and rear bumpers would look nice - splitter if you feel adventurous. That would look nice, especially with your wheels. Do you already have the single-slat grille?

I just picked up an SL55 front bumper from someone local, now I just need to find the 63 rear. I don't think i want the 55 rear as it is too close to what i have now, the 63 looks completely different. I'm looking into getting the single slat grill next, but have to research and make sure it works with my Distronic. I'm using that feature more and more as I drive behind stupid people.
