2003 SL-500 on order
no kidding, if you buy from Brabus themselves your paying way too much!! you would think that they could give a discount, but nothing unless your a valued customer. Hey Jam, do you know how much Brabus charges for the other mods? i know they have a pdf file price list but i cant seem to get one.

Hey JT!

Give me your e-mail address and i'll send you the Brabus pdf price list. As far as their other mods prices just imagine the menu from Spago and then multiply that by a few thousands. hehe.

Any recommendations of who to contact for Brabus accessories? I have seen their 2002 price list. They are sure proud of their products! I would like to get a quote for the Monoblock VI's (19 inch) for my new SL that I have on order.

Hi Jam, I think have dealt with almost every big dealer for aftermarket products for mercedes. Todd at TM engineering has a shop almost all by himself. he does appointment only jobs. and his prices are almost as low as you can get for brand new wheels. But ive also dealt with Sprewell racing. They have good customer service, but their mechanics are amazingly slow. a friend once waited all day just to get his E 320 into the bay to get it lowered. But I know that D2 technik in Alhambra is by far the best. Great prices. they will tell you when to come in to get your car worked on, instead of waiting like an idiot, their mechanic has been working on cars for over 15 years, he started out at DAZZ working on some of the first modified Benzes, and the owner; collins, is a pretty nice guy and will always give you a deal when you want to buy. I know price is a big factor in buying wheels but the mechanic is more important to me, you never want an inexperienced person working on your Benz. DAZZ motorsports pretty much started everything, my roomate used to work for them when they were a retail company. now that Latrell Sprewell bought out DAZZ, many previous workers opened up their own shops and doing well i believe. Hope this info helps.

Hey Jt!

I've checked out both shops before Sprewell and D2 and i think both shops are great. I was just curious to see if you have dealth with TM and looks like you have. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the input guys. I'll make some inquires during the next couple of days. We have no sources for after market products here in Alaska.

I think you'll probably end up (if you do decide to buy) doing a mail order catalog for aftermarket since like what you said there's no source in your area.
