Wow, looks great. Is the trim on the car painted black, it makes it look really good. Like the wheels and everything else, it really makes your car unique.

With that sound, badging doesn't really matter - I don't think you're going to catch anyone sleeping on you!!! Love the look. You referenced turning your chrome accents black a couple of times and I couldn't picture it. After seeing the pics, you were absolutely right - it looks killer. Nice build!

I give it ; and for the sound.

Yep I painted it gloss black my self. Ya I didnt want to do the ordinary look I wanted to try some thing different. Do you have any pics of your calipers?

Yeah I defintely think the black trim looks great, there was something about your car that was making it look different than most other 55's I have seen, and I figured out it was the black trim which matches your rims!

The calipers I am still waiting to get done. Uniq seems to be a bit unprofessional at setting dates to get work done and following through. I got the impression when I picked up my car the first time that they did not want to do the calipers because it was too "hard." Anyways, I will have to keep bugging them.

Ya its hard to get them to work on your car which sucks cause they do really good work for a good price and I like zach. Its work it for me to have to bug them to get the work done because once it is done Im happy.

Sounds killer. Not sure if I could live with it as a daily, but man....I bet you get goosebumps when you go WOT.

My SL600 is pretty loud too, but it's not a daily....

Looks hot. I'd get the brake painted white to match the theme tho.

I say just the chrome accents on the handles - the black accents really complement the lines of the car and on white really sets it off. I think if you do the whole handle - it'll lose the subtleness of those accents - just me. . . either way - sick ride!!!!
