Adding AMG body kit on CL600?

Hi there,

I just wanted to get people's opinion on the project that i want to undertake.

I have 2009 CL600 and i don't like its conservative body kit. I want this car to look a little more aggresive. I really like CL65's AMG body kit and its exhaust and i am thinking about puting AMG kit on my car. My concern is that people would think that i am a poser and AMG kit is only reserved for AMG cars. I am not very fond of Lorinsen or Brabus body kits and that leaves me with few other options.

Let me know what do you think - should i do it or not?

Thank you.

go for it. i can't stand the aftermarket body kits no matter who makes them.

it will add a way more aggressive look to your CL. the 600 is an amazing engine.

In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with putting the AMG body kit on a car, as long as you leave off the AMG and 65 badges.

i prefer a 600 over a 63 any day. V12 twin turbo... that's all i need to say

if you can swing it, buy the amg kit. like quadbenz said, don't pose though lol, you have no reason to, you can beat a CL63 anyway

Hey I would do it. It looks extra good on a CL. I like CL with the 65 AMG kit or the type of AMG kit that is available for CL 550's and 600's. To me either gets the job done. BTW, do you have 19 or 20 inch AMG wheels on your car?
