brabus bodykit

iceborne · 03-02-2008

thinking about adding the brabus bodykit to my newly purchase slk350. what do you think will be the overall cost of adding this. i see online that i can purchase the kit for ~4500 usd, but what about paint and install? and do i need to get the dual exhaust now or can i add that for a later date when my wallet is more full.

i'm only doing this, cause some idiot just rear-ended me when we were both on idle at a stoplight and he was just to anxious to go nowhere.

Just an assumption it might cost you 10,000 usd with installation paint and the exhaust, you may want to look in to Peicha which is also great and more affordable.

Sorry to hear about the accident iceborne.
Personal preference: I prefer the AMG sports body kit over Brabus. Piecha is a close second.

Do whatever suits your fancy, you will be looking at it every day..if your asking for opinions (and you will find many here

) IMO I would stay with the same manuf either all Brabus, all Piecha or all AMG, etc.... I just bought the AMG kit myself (I happen to think it's the best looking and I like the fact that it is MB not really aftermarket or "tuner")..found a used one on one of the forums online (rare find). But if I didn't find this one I probably would have gone the Piecha way just becaure of the $$. Brabus is rarely seen so you pay a premium for exclusivity but again...IMO not worth the $$. Good luck with your decision

Try and PM Lenny "noregret4life" he may be able to assist you with Piecha...

how much does the amg go for vs. brabus vs. piecha

BADMOON · 03-04-2008

Supp Fellas... Hope This Would Help.. I Paid A Lil Under $6,000 For My Brabus Body Kit.. And That Included The Paint Job And The Exhaust..

But I Do Agree On Checkin Out The Amg Kit And The Piecha To Make Sure That Ull Be Spending Ur Money On Something U Really Like..

any recomendations for a bodyshop here in dallas,tx. the mercedes bodyshop i talk to today was pretty much a newbie on slk's. they do porsche's and bentley though. odd.

@badmoon, $6000 seems reasonable since, on vividracing.com, the entire kit goes for $4500 without the exhaust.
