Game OVER PMCC flat out killzzz it...
I found out this isn't Flat black, it's a Flat silver grey.. This pic right here made up my mind I'm going FULL Matte-Blk w/Gloss & CF accents.

Rick, I would just duplicate this car's finish. Its incredibly tough looking and flows perfectly with the Misha body kit.
IMO the perfect combination is this car's entire outside theme (minus the stickers) and the interior mods from the car in the other thread.
Do that and it would be the nicest SL on the planet hands down.
Again just my opinion.

Feeling this one much more then the other thread. Oustanding work on both but this is more my style. Nicer detail. Whish either could give us a cost analysis and wish the kits came without the slatted backside to look closer to OEM, but I am nitpicking at this point.

Are you kidding me? Did you see the completed pictures in CYAN's SEMA's Car thread, his car looks like it rolls straight out of the factory. IMO 10x this project. Matte is not my thing

I like some parts of this build better, and like other parts of the other build. Everyone has different tastes and objectives.

Just took another look I definitely prefer the matte. Also the interior is too much for me on the other thread. Again I repeat great freaking work on both vehicles I just like more understated than dash and flash. Interesting that both had similar wheel choices with the CF. I'd like to see both side by side without the show stickers.

looks like they need to upgrade the brake kit from the SL500 to huge brembos to fill out those wheels...and maybe throw a Kleeman charger in there for some go power...as for looks the car looks like it's in primer flat gray....matte black looks better...Vincent's (CYAN) car looks even better with all the stuff he's done!!

The pictures probabaly just dont do this colour justice. Amzing there are two kit conversions being built at the same time. Aren't we lucky to watch it all progress.

Can't wait to see rickers beast when it's all said and done. Especially because the bite will match the bark hand in hand.
I still can't see myself spending that much dough just to doll up a 500, but to each his own. That said this car looks so *** mean

Funny they think it's SL65 BS... I'm certain the AMG/Brembo Calipers/rotors up front & bodykit fooled the writer... Awesome pix/link thank you!
Love this quote from his article..
This view will be down right Sinister breathing down your neck in rearviews...
Love this quote from his article..
ExtremeContact DWS rubber, had this light-eating creature from Platinum Motorsports glaring from the corner. 'Roided-up skirts and splitters with carbon fiber trimmings abound, and every transparent plane has been remedied by the liberal application of tints. We'd buy that for it for a dollar, no doubt.
