Question SL63

Hi, how are you guys ? I own an SL63 AMG 2009 and I'm wondering if I should install Misha Design Body kit, upgrade the interior to Carbon Fiber and Alcantara, and install lambo doors on it or keep it just as it's?? And the people who installed Misha kit or upgraded their interior give me your opinion please...

I think most of the members here would tell you to add some Carbon accents to the interior, upgrade to some nice rims, get tinted or clear turn signals (depending on the color), and perhaps invest in some performance items.

I think a bodykit and lambo doors are overkill.

Its your car. Do what you want.

However, why on earth would you do any of that?

Wheels and exhausts with CF interior bits will change car and make it to your taste

WHY, change anything, certainly not the exhaust, mine had the carbon pack from new and I think it does make a huge difference, that's all I would get,
if you can get it. Good luck and enjoy probably the best SL ever made.

Ok, but I don't get why all of you guys got shocked when I said that I want to install Misha kit and Lambo doors. Misha kit is MUCH MUCH aggressive than the SL63 Kit :/

+ Of course I will get some new wheels,exhausts, and performance packages

and thanks for everybody who gave me his opinion

Get the Misha kit! Looks very aggressive. I'll even buy your stock body parts.

It's your car so do what you want, I like modified cars too, it's just I think
the 63 looks good enough compared with other SL's, and the exhaust is nice enough without being tiring. Good luck.

I would go with the Prior design Black Series kit. Looks stunning on a convertible, probably cheaper than Misha, less radical and will not make it impossible to sell your car later on either.

There is one big problem, with the body kit Misha I think it looks like a black
or something much much faster, With the bodykit you need at least another 100 gg's otherwise supercars will blow you away, and there is not much
you can do with the 63 engine to get big numbers. I have had mine chipped
with no limiter, it felt a bit quicker but I soon got use to it. If your not interested in what other cars may do, go for it, the look is very agressive.

the SL63 is beautiful in it's own right. I'd spend my $$$'s on minor cosmetics & performance mods and save up for the real deal like an SL65 Black

I really appreciate all of your help guys ! And what I'm thinking of now is installing Black Series or the Misha kit, add some CF parts, eisennmann exhaust system, install supercharge on it, and chip it. It should reach 0-100 in 3.7. which I think is more than GOOD xD!

^^That kit is a tad over 9,000 all included. It's the SL BS replica kit from NR auto.

This will require a lot of prep and fitment work though.

The only wide body kits I like are the prior design ones, which is the SL63 wide body and the SL65 BS wide body. I say do it and don't look back!
