SL55 misha widebody, C63, Bmw M6 ...Ferrari 360-RIP
ok.. another sl55 misha Forgiato widebody on going project :)
Hi Guys.. so i already have a ongoing project of a E55 i bought about 2 months ago --->New E55 owner, new project 
I been debating about building a wide kit for a sl , almost bought one and was gonna start the project but a friend RB tech told me about forgiato selling theres so i jumped on it !
I just picked it up today.. so i decided to post up and continue on with this project , this is how it looks now , im sure some of you might of seen this car at sema or the shows ..
next step - tomorrow - smoking out tail lights , 3rd light, white leds in and out, led bar fog lights behind grill on bumper, intercooler upgrade and a cm30 pump, limo tint all around, might lamin x head lights with 6%, ,its got a nice royal muffler exhaust i havent looked under yet but if its got the res or cats im deleting them.. i shud have this part done tomorrow my homies work fast haha
then next week when dc is done with my e55, im gonna do the pulley, ecu tune, headers and race cats.. T/b, carbon intake stuff and cover..
prob hit up anthony from top stitch to do the interior as he done a few of my other cars and i luve the results
and last pasadena sound for the stereo system, i like dyn audio always used them so ill prob stick with those with jl amps and w6 subs .. will update as i get things done ..

Nice choice, Jamie!
There's a few threads on here about that car, before you owned it. The Misha kit seems to be the most popular right now, and for good reason.
Enjoy in good health.

SL55 Widebody
congrats on picking up the Forgiato car. At this moment there are only 3 misha widebody kit on the road with a few more being built. I don't think there is a better looking widebody kit for the SL.

I'm currently involved in same upgrades IE Mishadesigns Widebody kit, custom Racemesh grilles for ALL openings on kit, RENNEN Modular 20"s (brand new SuperConcave design, I'll have the very 1st set in world)
Mishadesigns kit itself is a relative bargain. Love to meet up when mine is completed, Misha is set to make a Pro video w/ALL SLM builds. I'm really torn on final re-paint color but most likely Gloss blk w/multi-Matte accents (Don't think I could deal w/upkeep on a FULL matte finish, if a bird kraps on it & you don't see it instantly & remove it your fukd
no clear also means rock chips ahoy' etc)

Love what you've done to it... Question? Headlights are regular SL65 blk style IE ONLY painted on lower half of internals OEM but you must've added slight window tint or vinyl product to headlight covers? look's perfect! What tint %?
