Didn't want to put holes on the front bumper. So, just used nuts/bolts to attach the front plate to the bumper grille.

Looks great.

What was involved in finding, painting, and installing the AMG/sport front bumper?

The car looks nice.

I was wondering why you didn't get the S65 instead? With all the time and money you put into a S600, it would seem that a stock S65 would have been a better bet.

Thanks for the remarks!!

When you are married, the 'family' needs to be happy. Although, I liked S65, the seats seemed / felt more aggressive. My family felt that S600 seats were much more comfortable. When I found out that I could install AMG kit on S600, there was my decision made.

Cheers!!

Paint and installation were about $3500

Car looks great and only cost $10k to do it. You saved almost $50K on the S65.

Can you tell me more about your floor mats?? The color combo is amazing. I saw your car on river rd before and was very confused. Any specific reason for removing the badges since then?

Thanks for your remarks. Yes - the mats are just amazing and they go very well with the wood trim. These are leather floor mats and you can order these for the S-Class from the following link:

http://www.silverstaroutfitters.com/...floor-mats.cfm

Regarding the badges, I first saw the S-Classes without the badges in Belgium and really liked those. I am happy I removed those. I think it looks much classier; just as I like

Thanks again for the remarks. See you around!!

Cheers!!

Looks great. Looks like you did your exhaust too.
What brand did you go with? and does it cause any unwanted noise when just cruising?

What was the total modification list you did to the car beside S63 Bodykit, exhaust tips, and deleted badges?

I used the original S63 exhausts. They just fit perfectly. In fact, there is a complete AMG Accessories guide that lists all AMG accessories made by MB for all models. You can download it from www.mercedes-amg.com. I have also attached the section that is specifically for the S-Class.

Hope this helps!!

Cheers!

Nothing else. You captured all i.e., front bumper, rear bumper, side-skirts, exhausts, and wheels.

Thanks!!

So did you call up your local mercedes parts division and order the amg-parts? I am thinking of doing the exhaust on my S550 (to quad ovals as listed in the amg-mercedes parts list, but not sure of the best way to start this. I already have the AMG packaging on my s550, so in my mind it's really just the exhaust baffle, and the black cutaway that would attach to the rear bumper that has the cutouts for the 4 ovals.

BINGO! That's exactly what I want to do to mine next. Let me know if you find out how and where to do this.

I bought complete S63 AMG kit. I think you should be able to do what you mentioned above. I posted S-Class AMG catalog earlier in this post. It has all the part numbers. Just see if your dealership is able to get those for you.

I spent the better part of yesterday morning at the Body shop that my mercedes dealer outsources their work to as well as talking to my local mercedes parts department trying to see if I could get this sorted out, and have to say I am not left with warm fuzzy feelings that it could be pulled off properly. I had my laptop in had with photos and part numbers, but both are claiming that it's not guaranteed to work..

So at this point, I am probably not going to bother with the project.

Same here!! I called MB of Austin and talked to a tech/mgr at the parts dept. After explaining what I wanted and even telling him it's standard AMG parts he sounded like he didn't want to have any part of it! Said that it would cost too much!! and..... that he was not sure what it would entail. Part of the problem could have been that I kept asking why the whole rear bumper needed to be changed and not just the black recessed molding above the tail pipes... (all I want to do is put on the 4 pipes instead of the 2 I have now with the AMG package)

Unbelievable! MB dealerships not wanting to work on MB's
