Happy 3 Week Anniversary - SL55
Hello,
It's been 3 weeks since the purchase of my new to me '06 SL55 w/ P30 Performance Package. I have done a few things to customize the SL. Loving every mile and she looks so good under my camera lenses!
Renntech Carbon box. I was able to make the Carbonio carbon tubes fit! These were supposed to be for CL and E models only. I just extended the intake tubes and they fit perfectly. Deleted the resonators too! I used lowering links for a moderate drop. It looked so menacing with no gaps in the fenders but the ride was too harsh for my old bones. Next mods are pulley and ECU upgrade. Stay tuned for more pics and videos. COLD START CLIP.
Renntech airbox and Carbonio intake tubes! Yes I made them fit!
Lowering links to get her down to 1.5 inches all he way around. It looked better lower but the ride was not to my liking.

New Shoes! Flow Forged OZ Leggera HLTs
Saved over 14 lbs. of rotating mass on all four corners. The difference is significant indeed. Turns, accelerates and stops much better. The OEM wheels were 36 lbs rear and 34.5 lbs front. The OZ's are 22 lbs rear and 21 front! Same offset and width as OEM up front, rears are 19x10 32mm offset. Best bolt on performance mod IMO.

This is my 2008 SL65. May be a little hard to see in the pictures, but had the fenders redone to look like the 2009 year (but painted in black) and had Piecha sideskirts added as well.

Selling my 2004 SL55 Mars Red with pano roof and 36K miles (super low mileage for 13 yrs old car). During my ownership of the car, only 2 people ever drove this car: me (of course I am the owner LOL!) and the head technician from Mercedes Benz of Bellevue (during servicing my car). I live in Seattle, WA (Bellevue area) and I only drive this car during Summer and only when it's not raining outside (which is quite rare here in Seattle). Thus the super low mileage.
Fully loaded. It comes with all of the options you can find in SL55, including: Pano roof, airmatic suspension (this one is lowered using links and one touch of button it will go up/down so that you can easily go over speed bump or steep driveway without scratching the front bumper), Bose premium sound, FULL CARBON FIBRE INTERIOR with CARBON FIBRE Steering Wheel, and many other options.
Here are all the mods (I've spent over $25K for these mods including labor):
- HRE 841R with tires ($10,000): 20X9 (front) and 20X11 (rear) with 5 inch lip on the rear. You can't get any deeper dish than this from HRE. I had HRE custom-made the offset and I had to stretch the tire with 285/30 in the rear so it still tucked-in the rear fender without doing any custom body work.
- PIECHA Front Bumper Body Kit ($3500) original PIECHA full front
bumper replacement bodykit imported directly from Germany
- LORINSER Side Skirt / Rocker Panel with Chrome Fins ($1200) original LORINSER side skirts imported directly from Germany
- Chrome job for all the fins and gill on the hood and side vents ($500)
- EXPEL clear bra ($1500): coverage on the hood, front bumper and full coverage on the Lorinser side-skirt (so the front bumper and side skirts are spotless, no rockchip whatsoever)
- CUSTOMIZED CARBON FIBRE INTERIOR (Total of $2000):
- Carbon Fibre Steering Wheel with modified sculpted sports grip using Napa Leather and custom RED stitching
- Carbon Fibre center console
- Carbon Fibre Shift Knob with Napa Leather and custom RED stitching
- Carbon Fibre inserts on Left and Right door
Asking for $45,000 (including all the mods listed above). Local buyer is preferred (I am located in Seattle, WA within Bellevue area). Out-of-state buyers must arrange your own shipping and insurance. This car also has CLEAN CARFAX, I have a hardcopy of the CARFAX with me and will show it to you when we meet. I only have hardcopy because I ask my friend the Head Technician to print it for me so I don't have to pay CARFAX LOL!
I even have the VMI (Vehicle Master Inquiry) of which only authorized Mercedes Dealership can have access and print them (it's good to have the head technician of my local MBZ dealership as a really good friend of mine . VMI shows all the service records ever done to this car in its 13 years since the car was brand new.

Finally got my Legacy vanity plates after a 4.5 month wait. I was really opposed to getting legacy plates for my non classic 60's car but, they do compliment black cars! Hope it's clever enough. I just couldn't get a redundant message on them.
