I think the oem it looks way better then brabus kits. The thing about the after market kits is that they start looking really crappy after a couple years from the sun and weather. If you had brabus rims then MAYBE but I think the oem sport kit looks the best especially with your rims. Are your rims 20's? or 18"s?

a couple phone pics after putting 10mm h&r spacers in the rear and lowering a bit more all the way around.
i like the height but i think i still need to work on the wheel fitment a bit. i'm hoping to have the wheels re-finished (straightened, curb rashed fixed & fully polished) when it's time for new tires.

A few horses...and an '09 GS350
This automobile is built on the most beautiful chassis. The exterior is just perfect, I cannot explain why. Pity they didn't engineer all the electrics/engine beautifully like the exterior.

Welcome comgrats on the buy!.
she is beautiful but does have some work ahead to make it look more up to date. Front/rear 03+ lights at least some amg 18's and if you like the look I would lower it. It will look like a whole different machine

For the lights go to ebay.com for the rear light buy the depo brand they are the best quality and look oem. For the headlights you got a few options. First does your car have oem hid's? If not then I would go with depo for the front as well they are plug and play. If you do have oem hid's then I would try to find some oem headlights because they have bi xenon feature that you can convert to work with your car. here is my car before and after
