Brabus gas pedals
Brabus rear exhaust / bumper
Brabus illuminated door sills
What about the front-bumper?

Congratulations
Looks like your spur of the moment decision netted you a really nice car. The extras really make it special. Good luck with it!

Couldn't help but notice your Garage Floor. Great color! Do you know which company supplied the paint? Is it holding up?

Well yea. but any aftermarket body kit you buy will not include paint/installation in the price unless you get it from a dealer and have it quoted including everything.

I think you're right. AMG is the way to go. All the others are nice, but I feel AMG has is right from the get-go. I realize the others are different and are intriguing , but I think they are a little too risky investment wise. In terms of resale, I would go for the AMG. No matter which way you go, you aren't making a mistake, it's just I personally like the AMG styling. So shweet. We're proud you own an S class so do whatever makes you happy. That's all that counts in the long run. Whatever you do, WE WANT PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!

Damn I forgot to tell you how NICE your new S is as well!! Very beautiful in wht, yes even the non-AMG kit you have is hott! Deff better than Lorinser, Brabus would be my choice if I had to choose between the (2) Lorinser<Brabus

I had a 2001 S430 which had the basic non-AMG PACKAGE, I painstakingly changed it into a 2003 up w/full AMG KIT, new hood, grill, Bi-xenons, tails, side mirrors, quad exhaust, Super Charger etc... needless to say my addiction to AMG, it's a work of art! some day I'll get another Merc.

haha. I like the lorinser fends on certain colors of the s550. it can look horribly bad...or really good. other than that, the lorinser kit = ew. Yeah, I like the Brabus because it gives it some sportyness but also gives it class.
