New MB Owner......
I just recently picked up a used SL55 as a surprise birthday gift for my girlfriend.
I purchased it early to mod it up before giving it to her.......but I have a lot to learn about the SL's.

...well soon be a fiance.....
...no pics yet - I have only driven it 20 miles to hide it at a friends house and to the shop it is getting worked on.
Right now it is getting the following done:
- Brabus front bumper
- Rear deck spoiler
- Clear corner lights
- 20" Iforged Daytonas
- New tires 255 fronts / 305 rears
- Air Ride Lowering Links
- 2007 Rear AMG tail lights
- Custom painted door and center console trim
- Tint
Then it goes to Hennessey's for:
- Pulley
- Tune
- K&N Filters
- Mod stock exhaust
Everything should be done in 2 weeks or so.

It had the silver interior trim accents (door inserts, center console) which had some worn spots and did not look good. These are being removed, sanded and painted pewter.
The Iforged Daytonas I picked up used. These are bringing broken down and the centers are being painted pewter as well.

Nice gift
The Brabus front looks good. Very Nice.
I was going to give my G-Friend my CL500 just to ****
off my Ex-Wife. But giving a SL55 as a gift ? Priceless.
Good job. A pic of the G-Friend I think is in order.
Mine is hot. But SL55 Hot. Thats very hot.

Wow..an SL55 for a gf. Hopefully she isn't sizing you up for 1/2 of all your stuff! Good luck.
