Does anyone here owns 2019+ G-wagon with BRABUS Widestar?

Hello
Just ordered 2021 G63, should be arriving Dec 2020 or Jan 2021 (according to the dealer).
I would like to do a BRABUS Widestar kit on it when it arrives.
I will be doing it myself, but would like to know if anyone here already one on their g-wagon... just want to pick their brain.

Thank you

Are you buying actual Brabus, or knock off? I've seen a legit Brabus and a knock off in person, and the knock off is definitely noticeable. The fitment is crap. I assume even the legit Brabus stuff requires a skilled bodyshop to install properly. You might be equipped for that, but just giving you a heads up in case you aren't.

I will be purchasing a replica kit.
If the quality is bad, I will not install it, but if it needs some adjustment, little bit of minor tweaking, I don't see it as a problem. Even original Brabus kit is not perfect.
Im able to do all the installation work myself. It will be a good project and experiment ))

Are you parting with your G 55 custom build?

Definitely interested to see how it turns out. Not sure you have the desire, but I'm sure lots of people on here would like to see a write up of the installation experience.
