300E
Gen1 or Gen2 Bodykit
I've finally decided to get a body kit for my 300E (pre-facelift model) but I cant decide between the AMG gen1 kit or gen2 kit????
Also the kit will be accompanied by 17" Aero I's on the car.
Here are some pics:

i concur
edit: actually, doesn't zorro have the gen 2 kit on his pre-facelift? i think maybe since his is all blacked out it looks okay. and by 'okay' i mean of course 'amazing'.

As for the question, either kit is good but if you are doing mono I's I'd do the gen 1 kit.
I have the gen 2 front and ducktail but the more I look at the pics I kinda prefer gen 1!
Good luck!

Be kind Don Diego,
It's a syndrome called "Body Kit Envy".....sometimes common in pre-pubescent males who envy not only what others have, but what they desire.
The cure can be only had with time when the afflicted soul discovers that the world does not revolve around him !!!
If you can't find the real thing, then find a quality repro....
In the case of body kits they were after all "after market" parts !!!
Use of Repros are quite common in restoration / modification of older vehicles and it doesn't lessen the value.
Only to look at what "Repro" Muscle Cars have been fetching at Barrett Jackson !!!
I like Gen I with pre face lift...maintains the "boxy" look

yes, I have "body kit envy." Especially when I have a complete GenII kit sitting in my back yard.
Also, As for your statement in another thread. I did source the AMG CE ducktail but why would I hook you up when I don't know you and could careless for? I was definitely being "shady" there.

You're a young man who tends to be critical of anything that anybody says....
If you achieved anything in your life you wouldn't have such a poor attitude
Nice place to keep it, don't you have a garage ???
First the word was "shaky", not "shady"...and if you recall you offered it and I accepted...but does it really matter ?

this guy quoted me a price of ~$4300 for a gen 2 kit shipped. not sure if they still have them or whatever, but the link still works... you have to log on to see the pics. he apparently had the gen 1 and gen 2 kits, but again, you would have to contact him about availability/price/authenicity/etc.
