The 635 looks amazing. The SL500 is DISGUSTING. It's just a regular SL500 with the most awful wheels ever. They totally dwarf the rotors and they make the SL sit weirdly...needs to be lowered or something.

I'm so sick of people putting rims on their car for a "bling effect"....it looks so idiotic.

Pretty sure thats a 600 SLR or AMG or something, you caught the vents right (top and sides), I didn't think the normal SL's came with the vent dealio? But hey I dunno much about MB's, not my flavor so you likely are totally right. It's a new car, and I agree with the bling wheels. With a drop though that thing would be sweet (Those are really crappy pics, I've seen it out and about and it's a different story from parking deck pics..) [;)]

The 635 is clean as a whistle, again crappy camera, it's a new paint job or something, it's 'cleaner' (the paint) than mine.. Sweet polished lip wheels too. [:)]

The regular 500 SL comes with the vents on the back of the hood and on the fenders. It doesn't look like an AMG to me. You can tell an AMG immediately because the AMGs have quad exhaust tips and different fascias.

Yup - I don't get points for knowing MB (or maybe I do get points!). Wierd thing is he didn't 'have' a badge back there, that's why I went overboard thinking the best when I saw all the vents (I thought MB's packages added vents to the 'packaged' cars or AMG ones at least). But I do see after looking at some others that the front bumper gives away what it is. [thumb]

Yeah, it is definitely a regular SL500. The guy debadged it so that people would think it is possibly a better SL. The SL55 AMG would have a "KOMPRESSOR" badge on the sides by the vents, and the SL600 and SL65 AMG would have the "V12" tags on the sides.

SL500 is a beautiful car, but this guy totally ruined it.
