Nice, are those the CLS style silver reps? Would love to see an angled shot.

Looks great

Looks great. Now a drop to take the look to the next level is in order. I suggest the ELM for flexibility.

Much better. Your cars nose clip is a non AMG piece. Looks like an 08 SL550 clip.

You went from the ugliest SL wheels to the 2nd best looking (SL65)

Big thumbs up from me. I'm gonna get a set at some point...

No, they're OEM off a CLS63 AMG. Will try to take some pics soon.

Does it affect the ABC?

AMG
Out of curiosity, you own a SL55 ... why is the front of your car similar to the SL500? or in the US the SL550? You dont have the front AMG bumper

Lower the car, perfect setup but it needs lowering

Elm works nicely with ABC. There are speed settings that allow the car to go back to normal ride height. I am currently set at 2 inches below standard height on all four wheels. At 15 mph, the ABC goes back to half normal ride height. Above 25 mph and ABC is running at normal ride height. You have infinite adjustment with speed and between 0 and 2 inches drop.

Wow, I've never noticed that but I'll probably pick one up in the near future.
