Here It Is!!

BADMOON · 04-02-2007

supp fellas.. here's the finish product. sorry it took a while, been just bz.. enjoy the look of my new SLK .. complete brabus kit!!

Tslick · 04-03-2007

Wow... where was that done, LA CEC or OC Brabus?

DansSlk · 04-03-2007

Beautiful car mate.

Your probably have a reason for not doing it but Brabus goes on the left

I don't remember what model you had to start but SLK28 i am guessing 280? anyways again beautiful machine

BADMOON · 04-03-2007

thanx fellas..

yeah, ive seen 95% of the BRABUS badge on the left side, but i just wanted to put my own personality on this beauty.. so i decided to just take the "0" away and do what others have done by puttin the brabus on the right side.. actually, THE WHEEL SUPPLY (West Covina, California) were the ones that did this kit.. they really gave me a great discount compared to the price that CEC and BRABUS were offerin.. TWS too wanted to take out the SLK 28 and place the brabus on the left side but again, it came down to my own personality on this car..

hmmm.. i wonder what's next up?

cyberdrakon · 04-03-2007

Wow, looks great, except for the slk28 badge. still don't understand it.

Beautiful wheels though.

Addicted2Speed · 04-03-2007

The car looks great, especially the wheels! If I were you though, I would debadge the car completely...

**etyu** · 04-03-2007

Nice one 9MOON. I too echo the opinion of debadging the SLK28. You may want to leave the brabus on the right.

watsons · 04-03-2007

The mods look great!

But I don't understand why you just debadged the "0"...

Banned · 04-03-2007

Nice shots 9moon! You should keep an eye on the exhaust. It seems to be very close to the plastic.

BADMOON · 04-03-2007

wow.. everyone seems to be agreein on gettin rid of the SLK 28... hmmm, is there something u all know that arent tellin me?

N4PWJ · 04-03-2007

9moon congrats, your car has turned out superbly!!
looks fookin awesome. im sure your more than pleased, im sure it feels like a new car!!!
i also echo what others have said and ditch the slk28 badge.

**alroumi** · 04-03-2007

9MOON, You played the cards right this time.

Your Ex SLK280 is now a Brabus Monster, If I were you I would just stick the Brabus emblem to the left and get rid of the SLK& 28 so that there isnt anything to the right.

Congradulations on the cosmetics, I guess were all satisfied now.

**alroumi** · 04-03-2007

How is the Brabus Mufflers, I hear that they are not loud at Idle but at WOT it Sounds Intoxicating and just right for a Mercedes.

**Cold Shot** · 04-03-2007

Sweet looking ride. Very sharp. However, I agree with everyone else on the badging. Get rid of the "SLK28". Put the Brabus badging on whatever side you like.

slktyperice · 04-03-2007

Yeah man you need to ditch the SLK28 thing. Maybe just the 28, but it's just sorta tacky to even have a 2 numbered Mercedes unless you have the real AMG version. Plus, who sees anything less than a 55 nowadays? People know it's only 55, 63, and 65 for the newer AMG models. I don't want people to ignore the rest of the beauty and focus too much on laughing at the badge, which isn't fair to you. No offense, but even I would come out with a chuckle if I saw a "SLK28" next to me, no matter how good your car looked. Do a complete de-badge or keep just the Brabus logo.

BADMOON · 04-03-2007

ok ok.. im convinced!! that'll be my next project.. ill wait til the sun really comes out, debadge the 28 and keep it clean!!

thanx for all the advices!! am glad that everyone liked the result of my car!!

as for the sound of the exhaust, believe it or not, i really cant tell the difference when i start the car.. it really is not that loud at all, which is all fine w/ me.. dont want that honda sounds too much .. of cors, no offense to them.. the only time i can hear the difference is when im drivin it or really speeding up..

**DesignoSLK** · 04-03-2007

Car looks great 9! How about some interior pics. I'm assuming you did the interior too.

N4PWJ · 04-03-2007

the more i look at it the more i love it 9. the dish on the rear rims is fantastic. also sits perfect, i assume they are the brabus springs?

diclehana · 04-03-2007

Nice car, but don't forget to paint antenna and its base...

B55 · 04-03-2007

I really like the way it turned out - particularly the wheels. Here are my suggestions:

1. Put BRABUS badge on the left and nothing on the right.

2. BRABUS side badge to match the one by the fog lights.

3. Color match the SL-Type antenna to match the silver of the car.

These are nitpicks really and are in the eye of the beholder.

Your SLK looks great.
