Here are some pictures that I received from Sarona on the controversies of a Conversion kit. I think these guys did it to the T. Not my cup of tea on the wheels. But other than that. I think it's good.

Yeah the wheels are horrendous...

Doesn't the Black Series have AMG taillights??? Other than that I cannot tell the difference , However the wheels have to go away, far away yukkk!

i am sure with a good set of wheels the care will look nice

exhaust looks different

DCMETRO22Z

This Car is based on a non AMG pre-2006 SL. It has the regular SL taillights as Charles Said.The exhaust is not a replica of the BS one.It has a different shape. They wanted to do like on some Porsche exhaust,with two pipes in one

In other pix it's clearly a base SL500 what a let down even tarted up w/full V12 biturbo SL65 AMG

will that hood fit on an sl63??

What a blasphemous turd. With all the money spent on bondo, body kits and wheels they could have bought a used SL65BS in a year or so.

I am very interested in this kit and talking to Sarona via email daily...the wheels are an issue and I'm trying to get them to provide what the options are for wheels as they come with the package of 40K turnkey.

Wow! Not high on the wheels but Wow!

Bam Bam

well this conversion is what $40K? You can buy a used 2003 SL at a dealership for under $25K. Unless in 2 years a used SL65 black series is $70K or under, this conversion is still more worth it.

I think the exhaust can easily be fix, a lot of people add tips to their exhaust.

Don't like the Porsche type exhaust, other wise ok.

You can re-use your current set of wheels (in previous pix they just use huge custom spacers, easily made any wheel shop) tho in this abomination they just got much wider wheels frnt/rear

This is what they said about the wheels of choice.


"Here is a link of the wheels you can choose from.Choose color and barrel. Bronze too.

Those aren't bad at all can you say 5-6" lips

I seriously doubt you will be able to buy a SL65BS for less then 100K in any of our lifetimes. Also, talk to them over at Sarona, they don't use spacers...special fitments for the kit...see wheels above...you will have to like deep dish...I know those black wheels are hot...I'm so close to doing this...stay tuned.

The exhaust tips are not that far off from the OEM BS tips...

kustom2k1

Thats Queens Blvd in Queens NY, cant tell you how many stewardess I've pleasured at the Pan American..what **** hole!!

kustom2k1

At the end of the day, you will be left with a 25k SL with a very expensive body kit and expensive mechanical and electronic repairs waiting to happen. You will not have a 70k vehicle on your hands.

marios13

"expensive mechanical and electronic repairs waiting to happen."

What do you mean by that?

AMGfan

I agree...those are nice...aggressive and purposeful.
