Red face SeaCoupe’s SLC

Wow! Even the crickets have left the building for better opportunities. None the less, here is my new to me, 2017 SLC AMG 43. Bought it from Porsche of Newport Beach with 17,4xx miles. Was a trade in on a 911 Carrera. Previous Owner was an elderly enthusiast who rarely drove the car.

Within 24 hours, I did an exterior detail with McKees 37 Graphene products within 17 hours of ownership. I haven’t done any paint decon or correction. The stuff the dealer put on the car to show it off was cheap and sticky. You would leave fingerprints just getting your hand near the paint.




At this point, I’m enjoying Sport + mode. Car has airscarf, alcantara steering wheel, seat panels and door panels. I have parking sensors which come on way too late, and reverse camera. The roof has the changing color scheme from blue to clear tint. The audio is terrible. I’m talking terrible. I’ve got to get that sorted in due time.

Me too!

I have a 2017 SLC 43 in White. I love my red seat belts and calipers and when the bi-turbos kick in. It has the "night" package and lots of carbon fiber on the center council and door panels. Love the car.

The only change I have made is to replace the Mercedes emblem with the AMG emblem on the hood. Nice touch.

Beautiful car. Shame MB no longer makes these really unique and very handsome hard tops. But you got yourself a keeper, if so inclined. Mine certainly is. Never. Gonna. Sell. It.

Nice car. I have a 2017 AMG SLC 43 in white with red seatbelts, carbon fiber and the night package. I love everything about my car.

You need to loose the Porsche license plate holder! Mine came from California as well and I had the holes filled and repainted, it looks so much better without that plate on front.
