I also think a nice bold bright color will make the WB pop...like a porsche guards red or a Lambo yellow!

Its a beautiful car and we have talked about doing the same for mine BUT....my obsession is top speed and the mile for now. Obviously at the 200mph mark, drag forces are critical and if we did go with that body style/kit we will loose substantial mph, otherwise its a no brainer...thats on stunning looking car.

Hi Thericker

When ate you starting your build. I need another one of these build threads to follow. I wis misuse front bumper only could fit a regular SL 63. I don't want the flared arches just the front bumper but that looks like it integrates into his flRed front arches. Anyway, look forward to your build.

Yup & INMOP adds nicely to the Widebody concept/build though will cause oddity on us in USA as our DMV plates are shorter/fatter.

It wont work w/OEM STOCK SL63, the OEM 1/4 panels are far too narrow to integrate the new Larger/WIDER SLM Mishdesigns front bumper, it's made to accept the much larger wheel flairs/arches that come w/the complete SLM kit..

Build will be starting soon...Stay tuned as this build has a NEW list of unique touches NOT seen or tried yet on ANY of current builds + a Totally 1-off fabricated addition to the hood. I've been planning for quite some time (Hint it will increase cold air flowing into the engine 10-fold vs current Vented SLM hood design)

Though, that Dual-Muffler-Top-Intake & ground breaking Ikea rear Spoiler is attractive ima' say "Dear Gawd NOOOOO lololol..."

Seriously... Why Lord?? Natural Selection should've struck this lost soul down long before consummating such an abomination...

Please for the love of JESUS! remove these disturbingly haunting images from my thread
