anton/wagz, the majority of these OEM replica kits are indeed installed on sl500's hmmm exactly like Fierro w/Ferrari or Lambo body ontop, ie sl500 has 300 hp 340 odd tq vs sl65 blk @ 670hp 740tq please show me the difference? (forget the 600 lbs, coil-overs, lighter brakes, carbon fiber body parts etc) an absolute posing situation period.. ps Mishas kits look more like the SLR DTM Racecars.. I look fwd to seeing either of your cars after said kit installs

Kind of like a Ferrari kit on a Fiero...just my .02.
it looks as if this car is a sl500 as the front calipers are not AMG.....kinda sad.

Your trippin. You just called everyone with a SL500 a fierro owner, and if they put the BS kit, you are saying they are a fierro owner with a lambo body. C'mon man. LOL Your reasoning is out of whack, im sorry but i know majority will agree with me here. I think we just need to agree to disagree here.

Also Thericker, You are right. I don't have an sl as i sold my 55. Bu i assure you when i pick up one up again i will be running a BS kit. In the mean time enjoy my fierro with a lambo body LOL

Of course you would say something like that. You don't know anything about me, how old I am, what I do for a living or even if my folks are still around. By your comment above I can clearly see your personal growth and wealth levels. Take care.

When sitting next to a F430 thats in its price range the BS still looks like a 100k sl with a body kit. There is nothing POSER about running a body kit on a car. Poser is a feirro running a Lamborghini body with its 2.8l v6. The fact that Misha kit is not exact doesn't give it anymore rights to be on a regular sl then the sonora, tc concepts or prior kits. Why call someone a poser when they simply want the elegance of the BS look. Im sorry but if your going to mod an already perfect r230, even if its a 500, you better do it with class and so far they only kit out there worth to be put on a Mercedes is the BS replica kit. Whoever its made by.*

Im not clowing anyone her who has the Misha kit but to make such statements as above and to say that a riced out kit is better because its not poser is just crazy. My opinion, thats all.
Clowning, Trippin or Whack lol

Couple things....

Anton, nice Bull. Very pretty.....


Sean has one of the prettiest SLs I've ever seen, with Jaymie and her crazy *** self right there with him. The top prize going to Jon, (AMGfan) and his SL65.

All the other drama I'm not going to address.

Aren't we a fortunate bunch to even have the means to have this debate? Have a great Labor Day weekend, boys. Be safe out there.

Both kits are amazing, but people's taste will vary.
Just agree to disagree and let it be.
I personally wouldn't mind either.

It's a bodykit inspired by the SL65 Black...we all know its not a real Black because its a drop top....

But comparing it to a fiero/lambo kit is retarded...its still an SL with a V8, retractable hardtop and a $90-100k pricetag when new

Damn Jon, you smell this out in like post number 12? I agree... if it looks like that, it needs more than 300 hp and undersized calipers, but then again, I come from the "looks stock, but it is not" camp.
