Sean, have you mentioned who your wheels company of choice is going to be for this? Are you going with a deeeeeeeep lip out back, or a massive concave wheel? Personally, I'd love to see a 13" concave wheel.

I'm NOT loaded $$ this build is stretching things a bit, after Kit price w/Install then total re-paint of SL it's a bit pricey, but much more affordable than the insipid $40k hideous Sarona kit (after looking @ it for hours you'll notice it's very off, the lines/fenders etc are too thick/goofy)
Then the Prior Designs is very nice, but again pricey & lacking AGGRESSIVE nature/stance of TRUE SL BLK or Hybrid Mishadesigns kit, I absolutely LOVE IT! after I saw the more refined Carbon Fiber bits & headlight washer cut-outs/tow hooks, it was a DONE DEAL!
Wheels are another issue, I'm still taking this beast down 1/4 mile when finished in Nov & I want a FAST street setup (will just get larger spacers for my SICK current 12lb current Hoosier setup, I want 19"s frnt/rear (changed my mind over the 20"s too many bent sets in the past, Plus as said earlier EZ 20rwhp loss w/the sizes were talking about here)
Budget may require me to use spacers on current whls for an extra month, then custom HRE or ADV.1 will be custom made, even giving CCW a look... All options will be in these sizes 19x10 19x13 full Matte blk (Lips are played out, redonk-concave baby!) Magnum rubba' 285/295 up frnt & mandatory 345 rears...

Ricker looks like it's gonna be a great project! Keep us posted and take some pics along the way or when it's done...loking forward to seeing what this will run with the bigger tires out back to transfer more of the power to the ground!

Get this, in ultra wealthy Montecito/Santa Barbara, I see everything from every model older 65's to Carrera GT's Vette ZR1's REAL Shelby Cobra's F-car's etc BUT the ONLY SL65 Black Series I've seen in these (2) cities, is & has been collecting dust @ my local MB dealership along side an unbought SLR 722S Roadster .
I'll PIMP D' shizzy outta the Fiberglass Cobra replica equivalent SLMS HAPPILY
The locals here already gawk/compliment/give dually's & miles of smiles daily @ my plain ole' lil' 600
Honestly, I can't wait to see it w/Dropped-Top-Roll-Bar
Erect/sunshade-on Should look unreal...

Now this look from Misha I like!
The air fins on the hood vents!!
And the detail on the side skirts are an awesome addition!

Don't hate, just call Misha! It'd be SICK in Brilliant Silver & the ONLY 1 of it's kind that I know of (the original Prototype was gold/blk SL55, then this 1 above SL500 is going full Matte blk, I'm going 95% Gloss blk) Doooooo Eeeeeeetttttt!

Just got the answer back from Dodge, and their hood vents are integrated with the hood...
Too bad, because now I really have a crush!!
Do you know if Misha sells his hood vents separatly..?
