'05 SL65

Well I finally took the plunge. I've been dreaming of an SL since they came out. I almost bought one last year but, was seduced by the yet to be released M6. I preordered and received one of the first in Canada. I tried for almost a year to get used to the SMG transmission. I hated it. Now it's sold and I just bought a Black/Black 2005 SL65 with 5,000 miles and all options from a dealer in Chicago and am anxiously awaiting delivery. This is my first MB. I'm not sure if I'll do anything to it, other than a Reus stereo upgrade.

I've learned alot by monitoring these forums and it's helped my decision.

Can you post some pics of the interior!?
And how well does the interior match the paint? I would think the interior would be a darker shade of red...

which is SL spoiler?

i have nothing against lorinser, i even have the lorinser orange reflector bumper deletes from them on my car :> just overpriced and not very attractive imho for that big long 8oz piece of plastic..
I put quite a bit of time going through the performanceproducts site looking for your spoiler, the problem is there are several choices and its fairly confusing. So I copied the following hope I can post it here, hope it strikes a chord with my neighbor in Seattle:

Catalog entry:

Home> Mercedes Exterior> Body Kits, Wings, & Spoilers

Dynamic Rear Lip Spoiler (W219) Dynamic Performance Lip Spoiler

by DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE


$349.00

Dynamic Performance of Germany has taken over the market when it comes to rear deck lid wings and rear roof wings. We are now outselling every other tuner design 10 to 1. It is a combination of design and price that had lead to this result...or is it the ease of installation....?? Regardless of the reason...this product is in stock and ready for your order. Other decklid wings are also available from Performance Products...such as Expression, Lorinser and Weltmeister. Anyway you want it we've got you covered. Order here online or give us a call.




pop up description layer
Fits Applications:
SL600 ALL 2004-07

Part Number: 75-152 Our Price: $349.00


- end

It also accepted sl55, but not sl550 for some strange reason.
What year is your SL?

Could you check your receipt and try to confirm anything (make, part number, your cost,etc).

Tanx

I have the same wheels on my SL55. They are far from lightweight, however but they still look beautiful on the 55's.
