If you say the fenders, need to be modified, then okay the fenders get modified and bumper gets put on and problem solved. I just had my entire engine taken out, bored and sleeved. So G63 bumper is not something I worry about. While I love G-wagons, they are still just a cars. More than other forums, we here tend to mystify what otherwise would be no big deal in other forums like the W211 forum.

Has anyone done the brake upgrades? I am looking to get AMG brake calipers. Is this as simple as replacing the calipers and pads? Or am I over simplifying this?

Here is a pair I found on ebay:

Where did you get the side mirrors? I need those too, but wasn't sure how the install was since i do not have turn signals.
