neither do I, apart from the wood, same wood with custom pure black interior and possibly convince them to fit a wood/leather steering wheel would look awesome. The point of the picture was to show an example of some of the customisation options available, notice the blue stretches to teh headliner and rear roof covering. All this stuff and nobody can take advantage apart from the lucky few, and the Germans.

I don't think I'm missing anything!

The idea is cool, just the colors chosen could have been better.

It's the thought that counts right?

Color looks horrible IMO. I would take a more subtle approach that isn't as wild.

I suspect we will have a division of AMG Manufaktur here in the states before too long (need some competition with the relatively new Brabus and Carlsson shops here).

Be prepared for some PIMP'd rides....I hear Snoop Dogg and Funkmaster Flex will be running the joint

Think they overdid the blue? Something 2-tone would have been a bit more settle and not so "in your face".

How did this thread get revived? Altho I agree with Chappy. Given the cars I see driving downtown there would be a huge market for something like that in ATL.

Interesting, so can AMG paint the car any colour? Ie a colour from another manufacturer? What about things like TV's in the headrests etc? If you can let me know that would be great, it would be useful when my old man decides to upgrade in a couple of years.
