Yep - the Brabus deck lid is growing on me as well - post pics when you get it installed.

Just got some news from Brabus for everyone.

1. Rear deck lid:$895, Pain: $180.00, Install: $85.00

2. Brabus is now making a wood steering wheel for the AMG Sport kit (with buttons or paddle shifters - not sure which) - originally they weren't doing this, but they are now. Is around $1,900.00 from what I heard and they match the wood 100% (still pissed I couldn't get the wood steering wheel on my CLS with the AMG sport kit option). Still have to buy the keyless go shifter in wood from Mercedes too - Brabus isn't making the cool shifter with keyless go and i love my wood shifter on my E500.

HOT!!! Nice job - what did the kit and wheels plus install run ya total? Did you use the Brabus module to lower it? I couldn't rememebr if you posted how you lowered it elsewhere. Good height. 30 series on the tires - that's gonna be rough ride, but when it's hot it's worth it.
