More updated pix... Look's like we may see finished sled before Sema..

PS... Those that said there are too many Fitment-Gap issues?? Need to take a trip to Lens Crafters ASAP lol..the fitment/gaps tolerances are just as good if not better than OEM stock, you need to see these kits in person & get right up close to make a truly informed response








(The Vents/slits/grills can be just a personal choice, I love them & think they add to the aggressive/nature/stance of the unique Mishadesign)

Hey Sean, are the hood vents functional? I think they look great, and as you know, any added heat venting for these V12TTs couldn't hurt.

BTW, got your VM. Thanks for the update.

You can come out to Ca w/Prof tolerance measuring equip/lasers/small wind tunnel fans or we can just bomb dwn the 1320' & see what falls off

She should be @ least 85-100lbs lighter coupled w/My mods & exhaust lightening/spare removal/roadside emergency kit on SL600's weighed near 100lbs w/tools etc.. I figure she'll weigh very close to 4200 lbs even or 4150 lbs w/1/8th tank of gas...

I'm experiencing mid-build color crisis any P-chop geniuses out there? Please P-chop your fav exotic colors w/Matte blk wheels & multi matte blk accents IE headlights ala' Vicent's style etc... PM me for some good shots to use for P-chop

Man this thread is just getting better and better. I have a question tho, can the matte paint be wrapped with matte clear bra to protect the paint, or is there any other way to protect it?

The carbon fiber grill completes the front end. Now the nose looks perfect.
