While sipping my morning cup of java and checking out Jalopnik this morning, I stumbled upon a story they ran about a new Project Kahn SL.

Honestly, I didn't even now Project Kahn worked on Mercedes, I know them more for their work on Range Rovers.

It seems they do indeed do a little work on Mercedes; in fact, they recently unveiled a new SL package dubbed the KSLR, perfect for anyone that wants to add a touch of SLR (or SLK, if you prefer) to their SL. For a mere 7,500 quid (about $13,000 USD) gets you a shiny new SLR front end, complete with SLR nose cone and front bumper.  If that's not enough for you Kahn also offers a full line of other products to spruce up your SL, including a new exhaust system ($1,773 USD), a 20" wheel and tire combo ($4,439 USD), and new Nappa leather seats ($4,439 USD).  They also have a couple complete cars available if you're interested.

So what do you think, is it a daring new kit for your SL or a cheap SLR knockoff? We dare not make the call.

You can check out a ton (and I mean ton) of photos below (click to enlarge), and you can find more info on the Project Kahn KSLR by visiting their website here.
