    Thanks Zippy!
    I agree the SLS is a thing of beauty.
    My neighbour has a 2017 AMG GT S and it's a sweet ride also.

    Legendary Autos has a 2012....have to call for price. In my opinion, yours is a nicer car because of color. Would need to see them in person. The big thing with theirs is the low, low mileage. Check it out.
    Love the look.

    WOW....killer Black series with only 3000 miles!
    They will want serious $ for that car.
    Very rare with only about 800 made.
    I inquired about the price.
    They typically go for $125-175K U.S.

    Cosmetic ordering has begun for the car….gave the wife two options
    #1- Classy with stock emblems and OEM chrome look
    #2- Murdered out with gloss black emblems and chrome delete.

    I showed her some pics for reference of both and to my surprise she picked #2.

    So my first order of business was all new gloss black emblems with the proper OEM side emblems which I like better vs the black series ones currently on the fenders.
    These are coming all the way from Australia.
    Quality looks good and the price/shipping was reasonable using the postal service.

    I’m not sure what one of the previous owner was thinking but the valve stems had those hideous gold crowns on them for caps. Those went right in the garbage and ordered 8 off eBay from China for about $20.



    Next up was wheel bolts to replace the rusted stockers.
    Researched quality replacements and ended up learning about Mevius and liked the black finish.

    After washing the car when I brought it home I noticed some curb rash on the drivers side rims.
    I looked back on the pics that I requested of each before and noticed he had sent me 4 pics of the passenger side rims only (shady I know) but I didn’t catch it.

    After thinking about replicas (C63 507 style specifically) I took a hard pass due to their poor quality and searched out 4 of the AMG stockers to replace mine.
    Took a couple weeks but found a mint set that I didn’t hesitate to grab.
    The rims were dirty and dusty but curb rash free. Tires were also completely shot.
    I spent about a week researching new tires and went with a set that suited my application the best I think.
    Install should be this week on the rims so pics and details to follow.
    I predict more tire shortages happening this spring so I’m getting mine now.

    Sourced out a slightly more aggressive Maxton design front splitter for the car and luckily it was somewhat local and already painted gloss black.
    It was the last piece they had in stock for my model and the wait time for non stock Maxton items is 6+ months coming from Europe.
    Install looks pretty straight forward with 2 sided tape and all hardware provided.

    Maxton products are decent.
