Body Kit Conversion

Does anyone have an idea of how much it would cost to do a conversion from the base model to an AMG sport package.

Instead of doing the conversion why don't you just shop around and look for an 07-08 with the AMG package. The conversion never really looks like the real AMG

@Bootyhunter 57 What is the quality of this bumper? How do the parking sensors integrate into this bumper, etc.?? Lastly, does it attach with relative ease and fitment?

If you're going to do the conversion and want it to look like factory buy only OEM parts. Mine came out great. All OEM parts, great paint matching from paint shop and careful installation and alignment. I couldn't be happier!

If you are going to DIY, it's an high to advanced job on the front bumper. You need 2 people, you need to be very careful, and you need to be able to get your hands into tight places in the inner front fender for tightening up the bolts. The rear bumper and side skirts are alot easier but still medium to high difficulty if you are a new to modding.

I'm not sure I just cane across that bumper on eBay. I'm guessing it should fit good. Try it and let us know haha

Might as well buy mine.

Take your pick, S550 Sport Bumper Kit (complete) or S63/S65 Bumper Kit (almost complete).

Rear comes with both S550 Sport Diffuser for Dual Exhaust or S63/S65 Diffuser for Quad Exhaust.

They are OEM and NOT FIBERGLASS.

Check out my thread.
