Brabus, Lorinser, Wald, AMG
#3
I like them all!!!!!!! I think it depends on what you like? ever body is different. Each person has there like and dislikes.>>>I personally like the AMG. One thing I do hate is when you have a non AMG badged as a AMG for example my car is not an AMG nor has a AMG bodykit (yet) I would not even attempt to put a poser badge on. two reasons A- you look like an idiot because I know the difference between a REAL AMG and a FAKE AMG and B- when somebody smokes you in a race you give them the satisfaction of believing they beat a REAL AMG, but again thats my opinion.

i'm a fan of the look of OEM plus, so i naturally gravitate towards the AMG kit. my thought is that if it looks like the car came that way from the factory, then the look will always be timeless rather than trendy & current.
but for my opions on the other kits:
old wald > new wald
brabus & lorinser are too over the top for my taste (in terms of bodykits).
if i had to pick an aftermarket kit, i'd rock the old wald kit.

ive got the AMG but
i wish the AMG kit concealed more of the undercarriage from the rear of the car.if you are more than 10 feet back you are looking at the fuel tank and exhaust system.im a MB purist so ive got to go with factory AMG,but the wald rear bumper finished what AMG started.

AMG Front, Wald Rear, but IMO the Wald kit should have cut outs in the bumper and raise the exhaust... I don't like how the tips hang out under the muffler, reminds me of those cheap tips from eBay.

the wald kit does have markings for cutouts. Mine are cut, however I will be cutting them wider when I get the quad exhaust. I will still have to cut out the actual rear bumper though.

I like the old Wald--that's a menacing front end. I agree the pipes need a cutout in the diffuser panel. Brabus always looks too busy to me; there's too many things going on that take away from the finely crafted design of the original car. The AMG is about right just like always, and you're always hard-pressed to to much better than the factory tuners.

Your right about the Wald exhaust they do look small esp when compared to the AMG tips. when i get mine I will be cutting into the stock bumper and the kit to make it look right.
