Can I make a 2008 E550 HOT? (amg kits?) Help!

So it's time for me to buy a new car. I was totally set on getting a new Nissan 370z when my dad told me that I could buy out his car (he's still on lease) cuz he already has paid for most of it.

It's a 2008 Black E550 4matic with all the premium packages.

But I'm not a big fan of its looks. But I've seen some SEXY Benz's such as :



Can I get an '08 e550 to look like that?? ^^

Or does anyone have any better ideas?

Where do I buy AMG kits to make the exterior look balling? How much is the cost?

Thank you!!

Would I be able to make it look like an E55 AMG? I'm not a big fan of the E63

Sorry, i'm a total noob when it comes to Benz's.

e63 kit is more aggressive , which is good :P

the little lip on the front on your picture is an add on, you can also get it for the E63.

if you like the white color( I reckon since you posted the white color benzo ) , contact fr33k3n on this forum ...he has an awesome white e63 with a carbon fiber add on front lip and slammed as well ...

you can do staggered rims on a 4matic.

just make sure the height is the same througout and everythign will be fine.

ive had staggered set up for more then a year already and no problems

Actually, I believe fr33k3n63's car is silver not white. However, there are a couple of very nice white E63s and E55s in the picture thread in the E55/E63 section of the forum.

----------------------

YES, AMG makes a AMG kit you can either get as an option when buying the car option package 321

OR
you can order the bumpers and side and rear kits and spoilers, etc
from AMG, from their website to get part numbers at your MERC dealer,
that will fit your car without all the underparts you would have to get
from getting the e 63 bumbers..

it looks identical to the AMG 63 except for the front bumber side slats,
which are not that attracktive anyway,, and foglights,

the side and rear apron are pretty much identical, if you get the rear apron with 4 exhaust pipe option, for later if you get the amg exhaust and muffler

goto amg site and under SHOWROOM then ACCESSORIES

enjoy
