E Class body kits

Any other good looking body kits other than the Lorinser kit? I dont want to change the exhaust on the car. I also dont want to spend more than $4000 tops for the complete kit. Any recommendations?

Body Kits

Do a search in this forum for AMG Package and you will find a few sources. Go all the way through it for some ideas.

The AMG kit looks 10x better than the brabus. Plus that exhaust is serious.

The Brabus kit has no sideskirts so the lines don't match up. The bumper is all low and the middle is all high. If it had sideskirts then that would make a big difference.

Not even do they have a side skirt, the side skirts light up as well!!! Well, which bodykit looks better on a W211 is really a personal preference. But dont you think putting an AMG kit on a non-AMG car seems a bit weird??? Some people like to make people think they have an "AMG-look" E, while others will go for other route.

Harris--by that definition, there would be no need for an AMG package on the regular Es. Why would MB offer that, then? For that matter, who needs the Sport/Appearance package. Should everyone stick with the stock look?

Not everyone is crazy like me and drives 135mph on the NJ turnpike regularly and still has more need for speed.

Some people just like the look. I, for one, would love to have dual chrome exhausts on my current Sport Package car. It is a shame, really, to not have those on a performance automobile such as the E500.

The way that I see why MB is offering a sport/AMG package is because they want to make more money and to recoupe their R&D costs. There are only a limited amount of E55s around the world. It is not justify to spend tens and thousands of dollars to develop a bodykit only for a limited amount of cars. Once the molding has developed, the rest is all about mass production. This is the same case for the CLK500 and CLK55. They simply cannot afford to develop an AMG bodykit specifically for that 3,000 CLK55s.

I am not saying one shouldnt get the AMG bodykit. I already said its a matter of personal preference. I wouldnt do it doesnt mean others wont. In fact, I should look forward to non-AMG cars getting AMG kits because I sell them. If everyone thinks the same way as I do, I will not have any business!!!
