Default SL conversion to SE-R

So i am thinking about doing a conversion to my sl. Basically se-r badge...remove the 3.5sl badge and v6 badge....se-r spoiler...se-r seats if i can find them...se-r calipers...and 19 7th gen maixma wheels...that I am going to try to p/u next week if the sellers still got them...also cai is down the road very very soon.

any thoughts on the topic of se-r conversions?

waste of money or well worth it?

I'm glad I'm not the only one wanting to do this. I was gonna make my car into SER, well I was going to make what it should have been. Since there isn't a 4th Gen one I can go all creative like.

I don't mind the conversion except for the badge
I'm my opinion you shouldn't badge your car something it's not. But it's your car do as you please.

imo if he adds everything the SER has it would make it one. The VIN would be the only thing that will say its not one I believe.

Are you going to do all of it? Dash, black chrome, engine cover, fender wells, bumpers and exhaust?

He's got the magnaflow exhaust already which will have to be extended a bit to fit the ser bumper. I think the exterior would be worth it. If it were me I wouldn't bother with the interior.

not ALL of it just MOST of it. not concerned about the dash or interior..also not worried abuot bumpers because i plan on making a custom rear difsuer eventually..although it would be nice to have se-r front and rear bumpers..but it would cost WAYYYY too much and I would have to re-fit my exhaust so NO. but otherwise my car wuold be the spitting image of a se-r

don't care about fenders really.

and already have exhaust.

btw nice clean fresh black 3.5 man it looks so pretty

I love the SER front bumper...Especially with the lower center grill part painted black. And your color with the SER body would be hot! I love the slate grey color.

Thanks man! It has some scars from icebergs on the road, but I consider them battle beauty marks.

It's a Stillen. Got it on sale for $205. I think they're always on sale.

Dont label your car as a SE-R unless you have changed out the mechanical things that make a SE-R a SE-R! Have you ever heard of Race Inspired Cosmetic Enchantments. Thats long for RICE!
