Thanks....my pictures do not do it justice.....

I am just not a warranty guy as I always mod my cars and can never take full advantage of the cost.

I should have some dyno results at the end of the week....

When all said is done, please take a pic with her in the car (window opened of course) so we can rate the upgrades to match the driver.

Are you looking for a guy friend. If so, tell me what car I get and I will give you my number (just joking).

why the SL550 tail lights? IMO the SL55 tails look much better, especially since it IS a SL55

I little miss communication on the order.

I still like the updated 550 vs. the previous 55's.

That is what I wanted......07 SL55's......ended up with the 550's.

I just want to drive it.....I have only driven it 20-30 miles since I have owned it.

I am waiting to see if the pulley has been installed along with the filters and exhaust work.
