The facelift includes new OEM hood, OEM AMG front bumper, and the dreaded Plastic flat hood badge (Looks ok once installed though)The car has 18" Lorinser D-93's /245/40/all around, definitely upgrading to some 19" Lowenhart BR5's soon.
Yes I know, I need the new Bi-xenons and new style mirrors next..
And yes that is real OEM S55 full cat-back quad tipped exhaust from the dealership (Not those add on tips) I've also had the Powerchip tuning done + K+N filters.
The little tow hook (on the front bumper) is missing in the shots, my bodyshop lost the 1st one, but I couldn't wait to take pic's! also the gap between the new hood & bumper was too big as you can see in the pic's, I just got it back for the second time w/tow hook cover, and proper bumper spacing. (my bodyshop had to shim it up a 1/4" to close the gap) Hope you guys like her...

...She looks real good. I love the massive front grill with the silver matching paint. It's funny cause my car looks just like yours right now with the missing tow hook cover. I'm still waiting for the shop to call me whenever it's ready, hopefully, by Monday. Yeah, you definately need bigger wheels now that you have the bigger bumper and grill. You have the S55 quads on yours? I can't see them. Side mirrors are what I wanna do next. Any idea on what needs to be done and how much?

All it needs is a lorinser roof spoiler. I didn't think it'd do much but once I put in on my car I loved it and it appears more sportier as well. Considering I don't have the AMG package, I'm considering to buy the '04 AMG body kit without the hood. Just making an alteration to make it fit.
Armani, I like the way those roof spoilers look but thought it'd be to much once I get the new wheels, I don't want to make it look to busy but who knows I can't seem to leave any of my cars alone....Masturkev can't wait to see what she looks like, just go for the Cyclops look like me, anti-tow hook cover....

I agree 100% as for NOT overdoing an S class because it'd take away from it's beauty, but I think it's a subtle add-on and def. goes with the curves of the amg panels. Just a thought..

The car is hot!! I love the '04 AMG kit and the painted grille. Can't wait to see it with the new wheels. I would go AMG all the way. That way you can add the lighted door sills and aluminum pedal kit. Check this guy out for wheels: www.bestdealsonwhls.com
Is that where you bought your new wheels? If so was he trust worthy and prompt w/delivery? just gotta be careful with some of those small shops you know?

No I bought a CD changer from him for a friend's S430 Sport. We emailed him, talked to him on the phone, and purchased with a credit card. Product was as promised and shipped on time. It seemed to be a one man operation with good prices. The last time I checked, he was selling bixenons for around $1600. I don't know how he does it, but if I get a ground effects package, I may purchase from him.Originally Posted by thericker55

Looks good, but I prefer the OEM grille... this one looks cheap imo. Also you need different wheels and the rear bumper needs to be cut for the exhaust.

Ah the facelift is much better
Not to sure about the grill, but you need to get the lights sorted too!

Defeinetly get some nice AMG Monoblocks or 18 55 rims. Loose the chrome and that grill it looks cheap IMO. Your car will look great after that looks great now but its missing something.

What exactly is the difference between the two hoods? I looked at pictures and couldn't tell??? Also, did the amg bumpers change in 2003? What are the differences?
