hi, has anyone here installed the amg aero stuff on their e-class? just toying with idea of swapping stock front bumper/fogs for the sport set up. any advice or known headaches involved? thanks in advance for any info.

i have an AMG style front and rear bumper for sale...rear bumper needs a little work, some butthead who couldn't park cracked it.

thanks man, but i'm definitely going to buy new if i do it. appreciate the offer...i think the coast to coast deliv could be an issue too...

The only problems i've heard of are that they need to be painted at a body shop, and sometimes the holes don't line up perfectly, and they have to be 'massaged' a bit to get them to fit.

I'm very close to doing this to my car too, just a matter of planning. I like the carlsson body kit better than the amg for my '96-'99 model year E-class. The new amg kit is pretty sweet though =] Expect to pay around $1000 to have it installed/painted. The kits are front/rear bumpers and side skirts, all of them for the most part. Don't forget the side skirts! =]

thanks lightman,
still thinking it through...also havent found a recommended local body shop for this work, dont know if dealer body shop is of better quality than indie shop either. if anyone has info re that , appreciate it. my local mb dealers are competition smithtown and maybe rallye in roslyn , ny. maybe i'll post new thread to get opins on that subject.
btw , was quoted about $2500 for full amg kit w/fogs , oem, unpainted , from wheelexperts.com.
also, wouldnt my almost new , 040 black , stock setup be worth something to local shop?
thanks to all.
