Clean Brabus and new to MB World
Hey MB World! I recently sold my truck (seeking a smoother ride) and searched online nearly for 2 weeks straight between the 7 series and an S Class both are beautiful rides. I consider the S Class of all years to be timeless and have a appealing style till this day and the smoothest ride I have ever experienced. That's why I made my purchase on my 2000 S430 Brabus Edition with less than a 100k...

Here are some pictures of my baby, immaculate condition and drives like a gem! Please take the time to comment, give me feedback or any suggestions that will make my car more enjoyable performance wise or any other recommendations. Anything I need to know about this car so I can make it last. So far, I have eliminated the air ride and did a complete coil over conversion to avoid high suspension costs in the future, a Bose sound system with a JL 12" sub and amp all located and installed in the trunk to avoid messing with the Fiber Optic technology.

Don't hesitate to unleash the comments both good and bad on this beauty and I appreciate any feedback I receive from you guys!!!

It looks just like a new car

Post some pics of the stereo setup
Was it difficult or expensive to add a sub?

Thanks man, when I saw it online, I knew I had to check it out, after a test drive, I knew I had to have it!

The sub and amp that I added was only $400 however, the previous owner invested some serious dough in the sound system. Here are some pictures...

Yessir Born and raised!

The Brabus includes:
-Body Kit
-ECU
-Quad Exhaust (Full Cat Back)
-Body Kit
-Rear roof spoiler
-Fog Lights
-Some Interior upgrades
-Paint

The wheels on there are Damani 19" and love the look it gives my car, matching with the chrome trim and as far as the FL Headlamps, where can I find those, do you have a link?
