Anyone know what wheels are on the second white car listed on the first page? They are like a 5 star with an opening in the middle, but the star is white! Would love to have those on my white SL55.

Agreed, they're not cheap. Yet, I've paid much more for others

I searched the thread here for wheels and found really nice ones, for less $.

Re: reg.

If you have the 03-08 oem headlights...you can't use the conversion.

You need to upgrade :

Lights
Hood (black series vented/twin sliver/ AMG)
Both quarter panels
Grill
And front bumper


Rear bumper optional...but recommended

If your car is already an AMG...no side skirts needed...If not...you need that as well other wise it won't flow well and look silly

I always liked the look of the Prior Dedign, but they would never reply on how their product is made. I hear the duraflex is just cheap stuff, although I see here they say their kit is made with duraflex (so maybe they do something with the duraflex and alter it). I have been told there are various ways to make this material, such as wet or dry set up, vacuum process or not, etc., which makes a big difference in quality, smoothness, paintability, durability, etc. YouTube has some good info on material builds. I think companies would do better explaining more about their product material and the process used in building it rather than just saying how good it is.

Nice looking MBZ Maverick. Good to hear about your experience with Prior product. Talking about describing your product material better, this is what I am talking about: http://www.luxury4play.com/mbz/16964...ll-models.html

Very nice looking spoiler. .unique. I like how it flows with the diffuser.

PD use of duraflex should be of no concern...The quality of PD is very well known. I personally know of 2 people who swear by their product and these are very finicky guys.

The pricing is my only issue but I feel that there are companies that are comparable but allow you parts as needed...vs whole kits
