Thumbs up BRABUS K8 G class by CEC Miami

Hello all,

We have just completed a nice build and I thought I would share some pics and info. This build made me appreciate the character of a G class, and the raw power of the BRABUS K8 motor. The sound that this beast makes when it is awoken is unreal. The mod list on this build is the following:

BRABUS K8 Motor (551 hp/610 ft lb torque)
BRABUS full suspension
BRABUS sport exhaust
BRABUS front design grille
BRABUS front bumper with fog lights
BRABUS rear bumper
BRABUS hood
BRABUS LED DRL
BRABUS LED running board caps
BRABUS 22"x 10" MONO Q
BRABUS illuminated door sills
BRABUS illuminated trunk sill
BRABUS shift ****
BRABUS logos
Spare tire delete
BREMBO brake kit with BRABUS logo

Questions and comments are welcomed. Rep points are also welcomed

Not quite $100k.

We did not do any BRABUS business communications or leather work on the interior. If we would have, this build would have been well over $100K. For comparison, had we built a GV12 motor (V12 bi-turbo)in this truck, it would have been in the $200K.

Translation: BRABUS = BALLER

Frank - have you ever done a the front bumper w/ fogs without running the Brabus grill? I was going to order the rear bumper and front bumper and have the OEM grill painted black to match.

Thoughts?

The bumpers work well without the use of the grill. The BRABUS grill just follows the lines on the bumper, and deletes the center emblem. I like the grill, but many of our customers have opted to keep the factory grill (because of the star). Works well either way, just personal preference.

Do you have any photos of a brabus front bumper w/o the brabus grill. Its not so much that i want to keep the star - just dont feel like spending over $2k for a grill...

Frank - do you know if there is temporary way to do spare delete? I figured I could plug the holes with small plastic covers. The car is black so you should barely be able to notice. I just need to find the correct hole covers - any ideas?

I just took the spare and mount off by the way.
