IIIMBPIII · 06-16-2008

Well snapped some pics this weekend while out at the ole horse ranch! Its an amazing drive with long winding smooth repaved roads and beautiful scenery! Well tell me what you guys think!!!

**etyu** · 06-16-2008

Very nice, thanks for the photos and special effects. Quite artistic.

**dltslk** · 06-16-2008

Thanks for the pics, great scenery.

Twisted · 06-16-2008

Very nice pictures... Always good to see some creative ones. Your SLK looks low and styling.

The only question i have is: How many horses can you get out of a SLK55 AMG

Hahaha as many as possible! It was actually quite crazy at the ranch the females were in heat and the stallion was going nuts! Theres about 20 or so horses there and he thought I was trying to take the females from him

hehehe.

By the way, that SL aerial you have, does it just screw on. I never actually listen to the radio and open my car from quite close so i'm considering it for my future SLK.

Yes I believe so my buddy did it while I was at work I like it a lot better than the other shorter aerial I think it flows with the car better. As for the radio I listen to Sirius the whole time and for opening my car its not bad its gets some decent distance! I say GO FOR IT!!!!

**FishtailnZ** · 06-16-2008

Very nice - great scenery and effects!

**Dave54** · 06-16-2008

Looks fantastic. I love the wheels.

**SLKCop** · 06-16-2008

Wow...very nice ride! I love the wheels and also the scenery just can't be beat. Good job on the special photo effects, too!

If you're getting the facelift model, then the antenna is different. Facelift model seems to have a booster on the antenna mount and then a flexible antenna on top of that.

Pre-facelift model: the OEM whip antenna screws out and the SL antenna can then be simply screwed in as a replacement. SL antenna comes prepainted.

The range of the SL antenna can be increased from 30 ft to roughly 90 ft.

Here's my post from another thread:

Very nice "low rider" SLK 55. Wicked low look and the dark wheels are different from everything other than Cyberdrakon's SLK 55.

**rlbawk** · 06-16-2008

Great shots and the color combo looks really good. Never been a fan of black wheels but they do look really good on the silver. Are thay 19" and what did you do to lower the car?

**dsb** · 06-16-2008

Very nicely done CJ. The car looks very aggressive. The Porsche tips work surprisingly well. Overall, your car looks great and is very unique.

I would now just recommend maybe raising the rears via spring pads. Also, I think the CF diffuser and front lip spoiler would finish it off nicely.

V8SLK · 06-16-2008

i love the stance of your car... it looks awesome!

how's the ride?

**alroumi** · 06-16-2008

Very beautiful car and great tastes on modifications, now with the rear eurotek diffusor coming soon you should get yourself a Kleemann lipspoiler as it will complement the balance nicely and add a menacing front look that you'd like to seek.

Enjoy it in good health and thank you for the quality pictures.

cyberdrakon · 06-17-2008

what kind of tips are those?

Tslick · 06-17-2008

A bunch of oaks... Pozo... Santa Margarita... ? IIIMBPIII, where do you hail?

Ynot · 06-17-2008

Very nice, the stance, the black wheels, the whole package.

IIIMBPIII · 06-17-2008

Thank you all for the kind words!
