Wow! That colour looks incredible and the kit looks like AMG did it. Different but not crazy over the top. Congrats on a really tasteful build. I love the dark multispoke wheels with that body colour. I have an Iridium silver SL63 and cant decide to whether to go dark wheels or brushed aluminium look. Yours look great. Am i insane though or do you have different style wheels on each side of the car at front?

Just saw this great picture by Tan Nguyen from Password JDM Industries of my SL. You can get a better idea of how the paint flops colors when light hits it.

This is the build that I blasted when I saw the artist renderings. I thought it looked like Speed Racers DD or some guy from Marvel did the work.

It is beautiful. Obviously a widebody with style and flair, but still maintains some of the elegance of the SL, just in a much more aggressive way. Well done.

Aesthetically, it's amazing. Any chance of a dyno though to see how it performs?

Yes once its gets back to Los Angeles we will make a video of it on the dyno. We just did not have the time to do it right before SEMA. The car was finished on Saturday morning at 3AM and then loaded on the trailer at 10AM to Las Vegas.

We are doing some photoshoots after SEMA. The SL will be attending the Las Vegas Cars and Coffee on Saturday.

I just got home from SEMA, the car is AWESOME... Needs some paint correction, but the progress you got in that amount of time is insane. Great job to you and those guys for getting you up!!
