I suppose anything's possible with enough dollars, but the real question is WHY would one want to do that?

Just get an "09 model. You're ruining the resale of '03 doing that to it. It's no different than having it painted.....destroys resale.

I just want a really good looking rear diffuser, which I believe is not available 03' SL55. I am not trying to make my 03' look like an 09'.

OK, LETS GET THIS STRAIGHT.

You want to take an 03 and replace all of these body parts plus labor and paint on a 6yr old car. You realize you will spend 20k doing this right? You dont just "place them back" you know?

Now u say u just want the rear diffuser?

You really must be an idiot.
