I actually like it... now if the video stopped over-exposing the pictures and causing me seizures, I'd probably get a better look at it.

Thanks for sharing.

Isn't there a CF package that gets rid of that fugly silver insert on the side of SL? No offense to any current owners, I just find it tacky.

I'd not the biggest fan of that particular color when applied to the SL, however it is certainly unique.

Unique...but I think I'd pass...I had a dakar yellow M3 but that was in my thirties and I think I left those colors behind.

PS...It took awhile to get used to the SL63 styling but now I think it's pretty hot.

I'd see to it that it'd be my first mod. An overlay or even just match the fender grill with the color of the car.

Oh lord, can we please stop assaulting our forums with that nasty SLR? It's like every other thread I'm in there goes another batch of the same pictures posted as todays news.
