Congrats on your SL55, please lose the chrome surrounds under the door handes.

With a lowering module it will look fantastic especially since you have the 19" 65 wheels.

Wow, that's not exactly a glowing endorsement of your new purchase!

I really wanted to swap my CL for an SL but every time that I drove the SL, I was underwhelmed, plus comments like yours from multiple owners are keeping me in the CL.

Your car is beautiful though. It looks like it just came out of the showroom.
