Thanks for the pics.
Looks good except for the silver panels on the side and the diffuser which is just for show (though it does *look* good)
BTW, what size are the rotors? I was expecting bigger ala CL63 030

2010 CL65
And 030 wheels are some 3-4lbs lighter each than non-030 wheels, w/implics for rotating masses, etc....
IMO, one of two biggest dynamic disappointments of SL63 030 is simply awful brake pedal feel (esp vs CL63 030's superb pedal feel)....the other major disappointment is how the archaic sport seats of SL63/65 are rather inferior vs those of AMG CL in grip and ergonomics, esp in mtn twisties....
My sense is that first several orders at major dealers of SF Peninsula/BH/Greenwich are all for SL63 030....few sophisticated buyers seem to want non-030s....and sales of SL63 non-030 seem rather weak even early in launch....
