This is a great idea for a thread. Great to be able to see what looks good and what doesn't before you start messing with your baby. Glad to be able to contribute a couple of pics.

2003 SL55
Renntech tips (came on the Renntech mufflers previous owner had installed). I love the tone enough to have accepted the almost awkwardly shaped tips.

Clear/smoked 3rd brake

Rear spoiler from formymercedes.com (SL63 style Painted Trunk Lip Spoiler (L-2 63/65)) I bought it painted, but was not impressed with the match so I had it repainted locally (cubinite silver is hard to get right, I suppose). In the end I would have done much better to buy it unpainted (live and learn).

Cheers,
Chris

If you are talking about my wheels, new with center caps and lug bolts, they are nearly free ... but they are only available in 18" if you want them staggered

18x8.5/9.5 35 Gun Machined Face $599
19x8.5* Pre Order 35 Gun Machined Face $649

prices are for complete set of 4 !

http://www.powerwheelspro.com/shop/p...roducts_id=675

They aren't particularly light, but neither are most real AMG wheels

They do appear to be well made and I have had no problems with them.

vendor (powerwheelspro) is great to work with by the way.
Cheers,
Chris

Does this count? It is definitely a rear and if you concentrate really hard you will see that there is in fact an SL in the photo too.

The mods took down the last SL rear I posted so if you see I am on probation, you will know why

I was wondering if you were going to repost that and if they take it down, well then they don't appreciate the true beauty of the SL.

I can't find the original posted photo, but this one is very nice. I can't think of a better way to show off the gorgeous curves of the SL than include curves most of us appreciate as well.

Nice! Correct me if I am wrong though, those aren't SL tracks. They are not wide enough nor thick enough. The pigish nature of our beasts create much bigger thicker marks.

Some SL rear photos. All stock, appearance wise except for the lowering module and 295 rear meat.
