If anybody had any thoughts about the sport package and interior it would be great.
Thanks,

As far as the stone interior goes, this is my fourth mercedes and I had this similiar color in all of mine. Some consider it high maintenance, but black to me would be high high maintenance with the dust etc.. that would accumulate on it. I have a Jack Russell Terrier that is brown/white, black would never work for me, this works great, you don't notice anything. I have had a lot of compliments on the stone interior too. The sport package with the blue color should be excellent too. The wire grates on the front will look great too, it would be black plastic there without the amg package. I would definately get the amg package, no question about it.
Go to brumos.com this is the dealer I bought from on their website click brumosmercedes.com New and Preowned Inventory, search for SL and you will see pictures of various sl's some with amg package and colored other than black. This should help you.

Blue looks really nice on the SL and i not as common as other colours. Here are some pics of a blue SL from this board I think, which has the Carlsson body kit and wheels, which might be an alternative to the AMG kit.

Hello Stephen K,
Very nice pictures. I can see in your "strait rear shot photo" that the black near the exhaust is solid black plastic and not black plastic wire mesh. In all previous AMG sport package photos that I have seen for the SL, the fore mentioned area had black wire mesh (unless body kit was installed). Do you or anyone else know if the solid black plastic is new for 2005? Or am I mistaken in some way?
Thanks to everyone who responds.

I looked at your car and the steering wheel has wood and I do not see the little plus and minus signs on the front of your steering wheel. Do you have the shifter buttons on your steering wheel and are they located on the back?
Please let me know.

The front of the wheel has little "+" and "-" emblems showing where the shifter buttons are on the back of the wheel.
