brabus front bumper???

Any one have the brabus front bumper? I am thinking of replacing my factory bumper with the brabus one. I was thinking of leaving out the fog lights though. i like the cls rocket bumper and the sl is close to it. Will not having the side vents hurt my car in any way? Any pics would be nice. Any one know the quality of brabus? looking for a deck lid spoiler too, so pics and thoughts would be great.

I would love to see the brabus SL, I have never seen one (besides photoshoot pics, not in captivity ). What exhaust do you have, the 6 pipe system? IMO I like the carlsson kits, actually for all MB except the ML and GL (I think the brabus double fog lights look good on the trucks).

brabus

I have a 2004 sl44 diamond silver on black with full brabus body kit front rear and side. It looks odd if you only do the front. Only the Brabus exhaust will fit the rear bumper so I did that as well. The engine is fully tuned by carlsson with a pulley kit , ecu and airbox. Also have the carlsson lowering module and HRE wheels but changing to brabus wheels next week. Will post photos when I can. I am actually thinking of selling the car if anybody is interested. car has 10,000 miles the mods were dome at about 8500 miles.

If you change the front bumper, I am interested in buying the original bumper.

I agree with nyc123 with only going with the front. I have been on their website and I must say it will look better if you do the entire kit.
Brabus actually test their body kits in a wind tunnel so you can't go wrong with them. Form and function in one.
