Just picked up an SLS Coupe

We just picked up an SLS coupe as a project car and promotional tool. I am not 100% sure what we will be doing with it yet but I can assure you that we will use it and make an interesting project out of it.

What would other SLS owners like to see done with one?

A vented Carbon Fiber hood.

Lets try to get it for a reasonable price and not something sick like what Hamman are charging ($13800), complete rip-off in my opinion.

Count me in when you work on it.

Also a Weistec supercharger will be an excellent power addition!

At this time bodywork is outside of our field of expertise but we are planning on doing some power enhancements. We are probably going to use this as am R&D car to work on some of our own stuff though.

We are working on that to see the feasibility of that, We are taking the car apart tomorrow to start building headers for that.
