Hey AMGfan, Everything you have done is looking awesome! I ordered my 2009 AMG Rear Bumper Cover and the 2008 AMG Front Bumper Cover as well for my SL55 and am considering the new 65 exhaust tips. I'll post some pics of the progress as well as I just dropped my car off this morning to Raintree Auto Body in North Scottsdale, AZ. They are MB specialist and are known for their custom mods on MB's. I only wish that I could find the 2009 single bar MB grille mod but no luck so far!

Will do and thanks for the inspiration with your car! I will start a thread here with pics soon when they start the tear down! What are your thoughts on the new 2009 65 exhaust tips?

I'm waiting on your COMAND change, how it will go with Kenwood.
I'm thinking about Kenwood or Pioneer, so now it depends on how it will go with your system
Keep in touch with your progress!

I'm chomping at the bit to get a hold of these wheels...
! Hopefully, I can get them to me by Saturday, but now the car is with my audio guy. So the wheels will come into the tire shop for the tire install and balancing and will have to wait until the audio/visual is done...
!I'll take pics when I get the wheels and tires put together.

Wheels are getting test fitted on another SL65 to make sure there is no rubbing with the Michilen PS2's. The wheel company (across the state from me) has another customer with an SL65 that they called to do the test fit...

I'm expecting a gut punch price quote based on the work he did for me on the E55, but he does gorgeous work.
I'll PM you once we figure out what we are doing....

The upholsterer went to visit my car at the audio shop and is supposed to email me an estimate. I'm meeting him on Monday to see the car together so we are on the same page.

I am really interested in the interior switch.
I have been planning to do a two tone color conversion on mine with that quilted stitching in the seats and side panels but put it on hold until i finish the exterior mods first.
Are you planning on re-upholstering the seats or buying new seats?
