2005 C320 4Matic
AMG Body Kit on C320 4M

Does a body kit (e.g., AMG kit) serve much of a functional purpose or is it just for aesthetics?

I like the "sporty" look and wondering if I put such a kit on a 4Matic car, will there be any difference in the car's handling, dynamics, etc.

If anything...less "sport" since your adding more weight.

I put the AMG kit on my C240 and it makes a huge difference when I hit warp drive

Will a pair of Nike Air Jordans make us run faster or jump higher?

I doubt it!

I researched the idea then decided not to follow through.

I looked at different body kits, then decided I only wanted the side panels. Talked to different body shops that would do it, but it was going to cost a lot of money; I have all the figures if you're interested (buy the parts, paint them, remove the old panel and install the new ones).

In the end, I decided to just replace the exhaust tip.

raunen, thanks. no need to do that at this point. i figure the whole thing would be around $3k or so. i am also curious to see if any had to deal with ride height issues with a 4matic, because the SS trim is sized for a lower-stanced car. i was wondering if it would look awkward w/o the SS suspension.
