Nice pics!

I've been thinking about getting a set of CCWs and have to say I like how they look on your car.

We obviously share the love of similar beasts. Below is a photo of one of my beast’s demonstrating all weather high speed cornering prowess while rescuing his favorite toy from the Indiana winter. I see comparisons to the R230; sleek and elegant yet muscular and powerful. (Sorry if this content seems inappropriate to this forum)

My good friend Smooch, doing what he loved most.... riding in Ferrari's.

Newfies tend to lean in the corners, rather than run for their toys! I had the TR and Mondial for around 10 years. Smooch was riding with me for 15!

AMGFan, love the pics!

However, I don't know if it's just me but your exhaust seems a little too tucked? Or was that done on purpose-- or maybe just the angle in which you took the picture? Either way, love the pics, thanks for sharing!

The car is going back in this Friday to work on that...it is either going to get extended out about 1 1/2" or 2" OR we are going try to see how Kleeman exhaust tips look (see below):

DCT Motorsports took a stock pair of side mirror housings in their inventory and "wrapped" them in CF, then I had to ship him my side mirror housings in return. The quality is very good...as a matter of fact the first set they did for me did not pass there internal quality control checks and had to be redone.

If any of you guys are interested, give Ivan a call @ DCT Motorsports.

Geoff...that is a 3 slat grill I bought from Jerry @ formymercedes.com. We took it and painted the slats satin black and the chrome trim gloss black.

Can the SL55 use the new SL63 rotors?
