Finally an owner! Silver/Berry SL55 with pics...
After searching for 3 months, I finally found my SL55. I will update this post a little later on with my modifications that I have made within the first week of ownership 
Loving the car so far. Sold a Ferrari F355 Spider to get this SL55. I have a feeling this will be much easier to live with on a daily basis this summer!
Ray's Master Piece R.E.M. forged monoblock wheels 20 x 8.5 and 20 X 10.5
Continental Extreme DW tires in 245/30/20 and 295/25/20
2007+ LED tail lights and clear brake light
Boston Acoustics and MB Quartz sound system
SL63 rear spoiler
Adjustable lowering links

Thanks everyone, updated post #1 with some mods!
I weighed the stock rear 18" wheel with a bald and worn out original Pirelli tire and got 59.5 lbs. I then weighed the rear 20" Rays forged wheel with a brand new Continental tire and got a weight of 51 lbs. A good 8.5 lbs of unsprung weight removed at all corners while upgrading the aesthetics!

I'll be looking for a supercharged rover sport in about five months before winter hits. Maybe we could strike a deal!

you got a deal
Ok,
This is my proposal, you get my 2008 rr sport,the wife (high mileage) but polishes up well,2 kids and 12 months supply of Valium(you will need them)
If we have a deal,let me know,the wife gets out of the pen in 4 weeks(22 years early for good behavior)
How can you say no

It was lowered using adjustable links and probably about an inch all the way around?

Car looks great...very clean, paint looks awesome and the berry, albeit a little too bright for my taste looks really nice...I love the berry stitching...IMO black seats w/ berry stitching or piping (custom work) with black floormats would look perfect!
looks like brilliant silver, and not Diamond silver metallic...is that right?
