These are Hamann's signature wheels, however I can purchase this kit with out the wheels and order any wheel of your choice.

When doing these wide body kits, because most of the car is getting repainted anyway because of the mold and seam work needed to make the flares look like they are apart of the fender from the factory, it doesn't cost a whole lot more to completely change the color of the car. As always though you can can obviously chose to keep with the original color of the car or chose whatever new color you want.

That's some large weave on the carbon fiber. Not a big fan of the wing or paint color either, but easily remedied.

I've lost any and all excitement for the SLS.
My experience with Benz has been that every car they make has been comfortable enough for big guys like me.
I visited a dealer recently where an SLS was there. It looks so much cooler in person than in pics. One of the staff was trying get in it to move to the service dept. The guy could barely get in it. I asked him if he were comfortable and he said he was not. I asked his height. He said he was 5'9. He looked to be average weight.
If a regular sized guy can't fit, no way I can.

I visited another local dealership and the salesperson told me several people ordered an SLS and cancelled after the car arrived and they couldn't fit comfortably.

I'm disappointed in Mercedes Benz.

PS...this car does look cool. I can imagine it in silver or black....with those mods it would be really cool....for little guys.

Well the original SLS was not that big either. Just sayin it probably wasn't any more comfortable than the new one and those go for over a million dollars right now and doesn't have near the same power and technology this one has which is about a quarter million.. again just sayin

I'm also 5'10 200lbs and I fit in it perfectly. It is tricky to get into but once in it, its fine.
