rims look like that off a new S 550.

WAY TOO MANY fog lights. Seriously, what do tuners think when they butcher beautiful rides?

G500
The rear guards look horrendous and no Ventashades belong on a Benz. I'm iffy on the wheels and the 24 foglights up front need to go. I do like the shape of the front fascia.

I do love this look though:




Regarding that above G, could you provide some details? It has V12 emblems so I'm assuming there's a decently massaged powerplant underneath the bonnet. Also, do you carry the front bumper and wheels? If so, I may be interested in either or both.

The Brabus G V12 has a variant of the latest Mercedes bi-turbo V12. AMG is also offering a custom G65 V12 Bi-turbo these days, and has recently bumped the G55 Kompressor up to 500HP.

They are also offering a conversion for the G500 cabriolet to the 5.5 normally aspirated AMG engine.

Hey Guys,
New to the forum,been lurking for a bit! I like a couple the things shown by art ,I don't like the rear guard and fog lights way too many! I do like the sound the G55 makes and wanted the same exhaust for my G500.I called my local dealer the other day and they quoted the G55 exhaust at $7000? Are they serious? They were also kind enough to tell me it didn't fit the G500!. Has anybody here changed the stock exhaust if so who makes it,how much and what type of a sound does it make.


Thanks,

YANKEEG500

Are you sure it's the sound of the exhaust you like or the sound of the blower whine (if what you heard was a G55K).

If you have an MBUSA G500, you'll have to resort to aftermarket cut and torch.

If you have a preMBUSA G500, there's a very simple and inexpensive mod that can be done with OEM parts.

Just last week I had the chance to compare the exhaust sound of my preMBUSA G500 with this modification to a 2005 MBUSA G55K; and I'm 95%-98% there when it comes to the "throat". PS, it's not the blower whine.

Ugh, those rear guards are hideous, and they're not even mounted straight to match the rest of the guards. I'm with the others on the fog lights too, 18 fog lights is really kind of stupid.
