When are you going to replace the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension and interior?
An AMG is much more than just a few body panels.

As long as he doesn't badge it as an AMG/E63, I have no problem with what he is doing.

I'm missing the point? A plain jane E is not an AMG E and never will be. Body mods are nice to make your car look sportier, but don't act like its a replacement for a legitimate super car.

youre missing the point

he likes how the e63 looks compared to his e350 or whatever

we have no idea if he is tooling around telling people he has an e63; I doubt it as he still has 16" oem rims

you don't have to say it's an amg to people because they turn their head anyway for a second look because of how it looks. and they don't do that with a standard model

You can put 100k into that car to make it close to a AMG but the bottom line is the vin# says it all! So you can try all you want it will never be a true AMG

I have no problem with what he's doing either. I think the car looks great (it looks a lot like mine). My point is that a few body panels do not an AMG make. There is a lot more to an AMG than just its appearance.

There has to be several thousand dollars spent here.. why wouldn't you put that money toward a real used AMG?...
