Wow, all I can say is what difference. I love the lowered ride, the interior appointments, the stereo is absolutely amazing... I loved my se awd, but I absolutely love the new SLS. I went from ice blue to the dark blue and debadged it immediately. The SLS package is what I should have bought the first time!!!!!!!

I've been resisting the urge to do the same....

I really love the look of the Sport models.

I have an '11 SE as well, but they didn't have a dark blue SLS when I bought it, and didn't think the extrs were worth the money. What did you get on your trade?

Congrats! The dark blue is beautiful! I have a 2011 SLS but was thinking of trading it towards a 2012. I just can't decide what color I like- I like them all!

Around 16k It already had almost 30k in the year I owned it. I pretty much work out of my car a majority of the day. The upgrade to the SLS is the best experience I have had with a car and I have owned BMW's and Audi's. I traded an 06 Audi A3 in on my 2011 kiz and I thought that was a great idea. I would have died if I had gotten the SLS back then. I love the Dark Blue. Its a great color!!!

Heat it up and use a tool to ply it off gently. Some people prefer using wire. Clean off the glue residual.

Fishing line and wax to get rid of the residue.
