Only AMG and Brabus kits are not based on fiber glass. AMG has the best reinforced plastic which is more rigid and better in absorbing surface low speed impacts.

All the kits look nice including this one because at the end this is all based on peronal preference but my experience with fiber glass makes me stay away from it no matter how good it looks.

Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures

Front looks hot, rear doesn't but overall it's not a bad looking kit.

$17,000?! Is fiber glass price going up along with oil too? The full AMG kit including front/rear bumpers, side skirts, dual tip exhaust, and 20" AMG style III cost me $7,600 during the order of my car. There is no question that AMG is better value (and Mercedes original for now)

Auto Couture came by the shop today with the white S550 in the first post.
They will come back again Saturday morning, if anyone wants to see the car in person you are welcome to come by the shop. Address is in my signature.

I had a chance to look at the kit and it is growing on me.

Is it possible to post some pictures of this car please? It will sure reveal more real details than the advertisment pictures above and might change some people's opinion about the kit. Thanks.
