and current pricing ..

you may want to check the part numbers on your switches, if they are
870273-0002 & 870273-0003 then, this pricing should apply.
if they are 870273-0004 870273-0005 ... it will be less
you can lift out a switch to verify part number by lightly prying up on the anti-rim (inboard) side.

The 2005 SL500 was available with shift buttons in the sport version. Therefore, your car can be brought to this spec and have paddles added. The solution is a little more involved than just adding the Module.
If you want to discuss it, send me a PM.

2004 CL55 AMG Kompressor
here is a 2 page blurb I put together today, It has pictures of the shift buttons it replaces (with part numbers), explains in reasonable detail what it does and how to install it.
if there are questions that it doesn't answer, feel free to ask them or send me a PM,

I will try to install this on a 2004 CL 55 AMG with shift buttons.
Thanks

Along with the module, I can also supply some steering wheel modification instructions.
The paddles are available through mercedes ... part number 1712670046 is for a set and costs $110.25 from onlinediscountparts.com (this comes with free shipping and is the best price I am aware of).

If you just wanted to have your wheel converted to paddles with no other changes, DCT motorsports offers this service for $499 (this includes the paddle converter module, the AMG aluminum paddles and all of the labor). This is plug-n-play solution.
HOWEVER, many choose to take this opportunity (while their wheel is off and at DCT motorsports) to have other types of improvements added as well. The choices here are many including :add ergonomic gripping, add carbon fibre or alcantara or even wood ... you can even have your wheel converted to flat bottom. Services such as matching shift knob, interior accents etc are available as well.
There is also a DIY path if you want to go that way. I see you sent me a PM, so I will respond to that with some more details and contact info.
