Hey kids! So I am in possession of the full AMG Gen 1 bodykit for my 500E and am looking for recommendations for a top-notch shop in the san francisco bay area that do the prepping, painting, removal of the existing parts and installation of the new (kit includes front/rear bumpers; rear spoiler; side skirts, etc.)

Any suggestions?

I didn't realize there was an AMG kit for the 036. I don't think the regular sedan version will fit, as the fenders are a different shape and the bumper is wider to accommodate the fenders. You should make sure the kit is for the 036 and not for the standard 124 sedan.

parts numbers have been checked from a couple of different sources (incl the EPC). should be correct for the 036. if not, look for a sale on ebay!!

it's automatic.

the front bumper seems to be the issue; i'd have to have someone remove the current one to see just what needs to be done. haven't decided if I'm willing to do that yet.

Unfortunately, the AMG body kits were for the non-036 W124 models. AMG's own E60 version didn't have any body mods, not even their iconic ducktail rear spoiler.

You need to mount the GEN I front bumper, make relief cuts to contour and match your front wheel arch leading edge and then reweld the GEN I
My mod is actually wider then the 500E.
