Hello

I have 07 - s500 (s550) and almost completed conversion to s65 amg. Next step will be mirrors and brake kits.

Here some photos,

How much did lights conversion cost ya

Anabolik

about 25k $

Arlen777

25k$ for lights? Little too much isnt it?

Anabolik

Sorry for mistake. Lights around 5k with adapter etc.

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.

Anabolik

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.

TDwayne, what color will be? Post pics after done, i want to see it too. Did you buy new wheels ?

TDwayne69

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

Anabolik

Very exciting job, im sure it will look great

TDwayne69

Thanks, I'm looking forward to seeing your completed as well. I think more and more members are converting their S550s, definitely a positive step.

Nice and clean..Maybe lower it a bit..

Anabolik

Yes, it will be lowered soon. Will install renntech module including tablet pc, a few days later.

ULJets

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!

Anabolik

Oh so bad, I already bought renntech. Lomo looks perfect, i think i will order it and will sell renntech later. Thanks for that

TDwayne69

Did you have any issues with the fit of the new grill? I've heard that it's possible that the hood release, maybe blocked by one of the verical supports in the rear of the grill.

Anabolik

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.

TDwayne69

Who did you get the one that works from, if you don't mind?

Anabolik

Mb dealer ordered and installed it for me. So I dont know part number even

TDwayne69

I may just have to have them remove the one vertical support since it's in the rear and really won't affect the overall structure of the grill.

Anabolik

Yes. are you going to change exhaust system to s65 ?

TDwayne69

No, I'm doing the 2010-2011 S63 exhaust tips (the square off looking ones).
