The guy is obviously delusional. Im surprised he's not asking 100k with the way he goes on and on about how different it looks from all the other SL55's on the road, like its a good thing in this circumstance. I think for 50k it isn't a bad deal but needs to be converted back to stock..on his dime. Ghettolicious is the term i'd use 8-)

Quote from the auction:

"WHY PURCHASE ONE OF THESE "COOKIE CUTTER" STOCK AMG'S HERE JUST TO PAY ALL THAT MONEY TO END UP LOOKING LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD!!!! STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD WITH A "ONE OFF" CUSTOM RIDE...THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE LOOKING AND SOUNDING SL55. IT GETS EVERYONE'S ATTENTION GOING DOWN THE ROAD...EVEN OTHER SL55'S!!!! SORRY THE PICS ARE NOT STAGED IN A PERFECTLY LIT SHOWROOM BUT THIS CAR IS IMMACULATE!!!"

The floor mats are the finishing touch. It appears that other MB owners would be jealous of this ride.

considering the restrictions of the intake air tubes leading to the filter boxes in the 55k platform, a modified hood with some sort of RAM air or NACA duct system would be helpful...but I don't think the above is functional or designed for what I'm talking about. So yeah, it's kinda shocking to say the least

Can the guy fit into a tighter shirt? LMAO, the car is ridiculous looking, ooops I am not supposed to express myself here according to some members on the forum. At least he didn't mat the car just yet.

I didn't think it was possible to destroy the R230 design. I guess I was wrong!

Hey Charles....... What's the chance that he's 'natural'?

If the were made by Strut, then they aren't kidding. I've only seen one Strut grill I have ever liked and it isn't this one. Man...what a waste of a R230...
