Had it all planned out, first the lexus and then get the SL tinted, but after the problems I've been having with the quality of this guy's work on my Lexus, I'm putting the SL on hold til all my issues are resolved with the lexus, at which point ill go find a better tint shop for the SL to be done at

Previous upgrades include Lorinser trunk spoiler, Carlsson front spoiler lip, 20" OZ wheels, and 3M tinted windows.
Still needs to be done (in the next month), Angle eye/halo for MB emblem, blue LED lights for trunk interior.
Wants done in 2 years, Renntech supercharger with Carlsson exhaust system.
The lights are controlled by wired controllers or by remote (2 systems) and can be programed to dance, blink, spin, and flash with music played (inteior responds to higher freq, and exterior to bass.
Sorry to those waiting to see the Angel eye, have to wait another month...

That looks really nice, I am thinking about getting the Carlsson front lip, and the wing as well. Do you have an estimate on the two?

New Pics of The Sherv with New Rims

I put on my new rims and I gotta say I like them a lot. Also have a few pics of the CLK 55, the S 500, and of course the SEC 500. Also, on the Fourth pic above the CLK, you guys can see that I got key'd by some angry USC student when I was parked at school, its right above the SL 500 emblem. I also decided to take the front plate off, and you guys can see the difference because I posted older pics above in this thread. Enjoy, I know I am!

wazzup mikeblah, thats a wind screen a friend and myself created from plexi-glass and tint. it allows u to use the roll bars and keep the wind down at the same time, plus it gives u some extra privacy as well. if you interested in one let me know where making some for sale!

meegle -- great color. I'm surprised more people don't get it. I'm considering it for an 07 SL55.

We love the color. It replaced the firemist metallic red from the earlier year and I think it is just a tad deeper red. I do wish the interior was a bit darker than the stone color that is offered.
