Couple of random shots

Very happy with this solution. Went looking for just stock new button covers as they were getting a little tacky to the touch. Found these for cheaper than the OE buttons. On the sport 3 setting on the sprint booster and feels more appropriate for selecting gears and really helps the steering wheel looks aesthetically.

@BlownV8 Talk to me about this. Somebody must have done it, apart from ConeKillerAUTOx.

Where I ended up putting the sprint booster controller. Very convenient and stealth

Arizona is a great place to have a car survive the longest with little to no corrosion. Just look out for the sand and dust storms.

You got that right! Still never her use to the Haboobs

Out cruisin beautiful 68degree AZ evening
Loving the G paddles

So originally took the wheels off to clean the brakes, and wheels. Ceramic coated the wheels and barrels while dressing the rubber both sides. Then said you know what the paint could use a little love too. So before 4 step paint correction, decided to debadge to make clay and wheel time easier. But seriously I like the look better with out any of the badges! I think Ima rock like this for a minute. Also will make microfiber jobs lite work. My non conscious mind says this looks more esthetically pleasing and clean. Anyway just sharing. Happy holidays. Love my SL65!

Back match…

The front


The little things that make us smile 😊

Really like the subdued emblem, and the valve stem covers. Very nice touches. Great attention to detail.

Thank you MB2timer. Much appreciated.

it was inevitable. Happy with the set up! Was going to do some wheels and tires but after wheel finish correction and ceramic, I’m staying with the stockers.

Good choice, IMNSHO. Those original wheels are svelte. SO classy.

Thanks bro. Much appreciated! Enjoying her as the keeper of the fleet mucho.

Was


really happy to see a renntech box under the tree with the black silver rear plate frame from my kids 🫶🙏

RennTech!! As if that car was not already as fast as a rocket stolen from NASA.

Agree. Gota run the sticky 100/200 TW R compound rear tires to have a chance in the warmer months.

How are you liking those RT660s?

Love this build thread! Very nice and IMHO very clean upgrades. Great to see some fresh SL65 mods.

thank you kindly! You know I always thought the 660 would be a great fit for any plus 4k lb RWD auto. They are R compound but 200 vs 100 tread wear so they have some meat to work through. Works great for the warmer months to help her get some reliable traction with the traction control off. Actually I never leave it on with those tires. Plus with these I’ve noticed after close inspection after a season they have another season left in them. As opposed to my R888 I ran on my ZO6 and my last 911Turbo, that only gave me one street season with the occasional track time. Very happy for the street and the 660. Plus the size in 275 is very close width wise to the stock 285 with a tape measure on the stock 65AMG wheel.

Looks great.

Don't forget your R230 artwork from petrol vibes.

thank you 🙏 I’ll check em out! Thank you
