S550 AMG
my s65 amg conversion project
Hello
I have 07 - s500 (s550) and almost completed conversion to s65 amg. Next step will be mirrors and brake kits.
Here some photos,

Damn good job, car looks beautiful. Mine is in the paint and body shop right now, I will be posting in a few weeks. Everything is getting converted, except for the headlights and brakes, they will come later.
Again Anabolik, great job.![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Thanks guys. I enjoy it much., just waiting for mirrors, they are in paint now. Then I will replace brake kit. It will look better.

I'm sticking with the original black, the entire car is getting repainted in addition to the conversion. I'm switching out my current wheels to the Vossen 22" VVS CV3s in Matte Silver Machined color. I have the paint shop taking some before, during, and completion photos as well. I hoping the it will be finished in a week or so. They've had it for three weeks now, so I'm definitely ready to get it back. It will look like a brand new vehicle. So I will start a thread once it's complete and I will include the parts suppliers and the paint shop that did the work including the cost.
Regards,
Tony

Have you looked into the LoMo M1 instead of the Renntech lowering module? With the Lomo you don't need a tablet, it's controlled through the steering wheel/instrument cluster.
Car looks great btw!

Yes Exactly, we changed that part too. If you dont want to change it, you can just trim left side of hood release part then it will fit. however best is to change it. its cheap.
