GL with Brabus body kit.

Saw this at a dealer and snapped a few pics for the fans here. Sticker on the body kit was $ 35 K and total sticker was ~ $ 97K. Enjoy.

oknish, do you know if those are 20" wheels? I'm planning on putting 20" Monoblock E's (the ones in your pics) on my GL when it comes in.

Not sure, boxboss. But will confirm on Wed when I will be in the area where this dealership is and will find out. They do look to be the same. Check out http://www.cecwheels.com/images/medi...abus_wheel.jpg

actually, those wheels are 22 inches. Matter of fact, I was at CEC last month and the sales manager show me that silver GL. I got the type S 22 inches wheels, I will put it on when I have my GL in 2 weeks

Thanks oknish and brabus164. I think those are great looking wheels (Monoblock E) and will look even better on my OB 450!

Here they are on black:

I'm not doing the body kit parts, only the wheels. I doubt the lighted side skirts would work as I ordered the PE running boards.

Maybe just maybe I will do the running boards for now and then get the lighted skirts in the next year or so. Have to go down to Santa Monica this weekend so I think I will stop by CEC tuning center there to get more details. I am only afraid that I will end buying a set of wheels

I've thought a lot about that one and have decided, for me, 20's are the way to go.

I am guessing that above is valid till you decide to get 22's, right

Nope. It will be 20's. Mostly because older guys like me usually aren't into and 22's put me a little too close!

Back to the Brabus...I just found a price list for the kit, it appears the components of the kit can be purchased separately.

Here is the dealer sticker and what all is included in the kit. Can anyone figure out how much Brabus is charging for this?

I just bought the monoblock S 22 inchs wheel for 20% off the sticker price. I asked several dealers that carry brabus kit, on most of the items that list of the price sheet, you can get around 20% off the list price if you really bargan hard.

Thanks, boxBoss. Dealer is marking up only $10 K - tires and that is on Brabus' sticker prices. Dealers probably get a discount.

Not a bad business to be in, I guess
