sl65 (or 030 pp) rear bumper question.
Ok, on the sl65 (or 030 perf.pkg) rear bumper there's a mesh-type insert that's incorporated into the bottom half between the exhaust tips. The standard '03-'06 AMG rear bumper appears to have the same indentation but it containes a flat black insert, rather than mesh. So.. can the '03-'06 AMG rear bumper be upfitted to the mesh? Or is there an aftermarket carbon fiber insert available

My '03 SL55 has the mesh. The rear bumper cover that you are showing is a non-AMG bumper.

I hadn't realized the sl55 had the mesh too. Anyway, the sl500/600 with the AMG appearance package does not come with the rear bumper mesh. The sl55/65 bumper has wider exhaust openings so there may be retrofit issues. Question is has anyone tried
My sl500 w/amg pkg has the plastic insert which has begun to pull loose, tilting out at the top. So If I were to fix it anyway..
