RennTech SL65 is underway. Pics.

I just installed the Renntech 20" Monolites & Renntech ELM. I also took my CLK BS steering wheel and put it on. I love this car. Next week is power time. Renntech ecu/tcu, carbon airbox & intercooler upgrade. I will take more pics when that stuff is done. I am looking for an oem SL65 front bumper, as my car came with a Brabus bumper when I bought it.

Why dont you want the brabus front bumper? I was thinking of getting a brabus front bumper. Where did you get the steering wheel and how much? What size rims and tires are you running?

The steering wheel is from ebay. Some guy has them Sweden. As far as the bumper is concerned, I would rather have a factory SL65 bumper. PM me on the bumper. We'll talk.

i dont have PM's activated, but if you could, email me at harrissnodgrass@gmail.com regarding your bumper. If you sell it for an SL65 bumper, I would more than love to buy it from you. Please let me know! Maybe we can work out a trade as well, as I can get my hands on a brand new SL65 bumper pretty easily! Thanks

Yep, oem 65 bumper is the way to go.

I bet you're loving the fact next week your 600bhp/737lb/ft car will be a 700bhp/900lb/ft one.

Have fun smashing everything from Enzos, Murcis and 997TTs on the 10

Does I/C upgrade mean that your replacing it..? And in that case, is it for sale..?
Since I'm getting my 600 tuned, something has to be done about the heat...
I love your car btw! Awesome.

Btw, what guy in Sweden? That steering wheel looks great! Could you, by any chance, provide me with a number or an adress. How much did it cost? Something has to be done with my stock wheel here. And I've already checked ebay, without any luck...
Thanks.

Quick question, did you lower your car? I just put the same
exact wheels on my car last Wednesday. It looks great but
I was debating lowering the car a bit. What size tires are they?
I have 255/30 and 295/25.

Thanks,

-Rajah.
