No dyno numbers yet, soon to come tho... my guess would be around ~500 +/- 10-20HP??? According to Scott at Renntech, he claims over 600HP at the crank

Actually fronts are similiar in size but I think the color 'white' makes it seem much bigger. Rears I have to change out as they've sent me the same size for the rears
That's what happens when you order thru Ebay
.
Thanks for helping me out with the lowering links
I feel confident that I'm not the only LOCO one on the streets

Nice car,
Is it possible to explain the headlight conversion? are they the complete assembly or just the headlight covers?

Thanks! Adjustableairrides.com Lowering links. Learned it from this forum. Easy install, did it myself. Fronts really easy, like 5 minutes on each side. Rears, tricky to get to 'pull off' and 'pop it in'. I used a little grease around the rubber openings which helped it slide into the little metal ball joints much easier. Links, 7mm, lengthened, in fronts and 5mm, shortened, in the rear. But i had to play with it few days to get it to exactly how I liked it for both cosmetically and functionality, mainly comfort.

The car was built by the owner of MB Auto, an authorized Renntech dealer, in Pompano Beach, Florida. From talking to him extensively about the car, the brake conversion was very easy according to him. He ordered the parts from Mercedes (OEM calipers, rotors, and pads for an '08 SL65, expensive!!!). No hub spacers or extending brackets were fabricated to fit those in. They bolted right into the existing OEM E55 brackets. Love the brakes. Literally, I can give myself and passengers a whiplash if I slamm the brakes
With stainless steel brake lines, the best brakes money can buy for these cars... And you DO need them if you did any mods IMO.

But are you saying that it pretty much came like this when you bought it? I was under the impression from your first post that these were your mods? Or did you do just some of them(?)
Nevertheless, it looks nice

Thank you.
Sorry to confuse you... Yes, the most work was done by the previous owner, the body, Renntech, brakes. I did wheels, suspension, cosmetic stuff here and there and some exhaust work.
I am still modding, at least i tried to

My next project would like to be differential and possible custom Cams but not sure yet

I just like to sit back and enjoy the car as some girls looking at their prized jewelry or something
