2007 G55 updates??? Not a chance, you aren't even in the ball park. Very little of the G55 chrome and g500 rims. Not that I care, the USA G55s have too much chrome trinkets anyway.

"no short cuts" - ??? You didn't even put on 463 fenders!

"minor fender bender" of "bad accident"????

At $15K it is probably a decent buy. Advertise the truck correctly/accurately without the BS instead.

The 280GE bumpers are STEEL and are better suited for a Gwagen not like your bumpers on your 02 G500. I know 15k is a fair price with the amount of money that I bought the vehicle for and also UPGRADED it. Some people that own G55 AMG have G500 RIMS, it is opinion. Yes, it was a bad incident that my truck was in an accident and thanks to MIKE from Clubgwagen he helped me. He is the BEST ! HE is an upstanding MAN, and he sent me the parts for an agreed payment. I consider it minor as I did not hit another car or myself was not hurt and GOD THANK YOU that no one was injured or killed. VERY BAD day for me as I was on a BUS, TRAIN, TAXI for 2 weeks. I am considering ANOTHER Vehicle in my life as I have the NEED for SPEED and am into AUTO RACING at on racetrack Race Rallies (PER DOCTOR's ORDERS and recommendations as I have clearance that will protect me from liability). THANKS for your comments, as I SEE you have alot of GREAT experiance with GWAGENS from my CHECKS through the boards history, WHEN I was researching about parts and recommendations about GWAGENS.

Yes, the 460s have thicker bumpers. There is a very nice 463 heavy duty bumper available. If I ever need to replace my front OEM STEEL bumper (again) I will consider it. I find it interesting you wanted a G500 bumper instead when you were looking for parts after your bad accident.

Your truck looks nothing like a G55 but is closer to a G500. A 460 isn't a 463 - no reason to hide the truth. Find me 1 person with a G55 that has G500 rims. Maybe somebody picked up a set of G500 rims cheap for winter tires - but that would be about it. The width of the G55 rims are vastly superior to the G500 rims, especially on the REAL AMG G55s with the wider flares. G500 rims would look downright silly.

END THE BS! Tell people ACCURATELY and HONESTLY about the truck you are trying to sell, we don't care about the other stuff.

Yes, I was looking for STEEL bumpers or W463 bumpers as I am in the process of getting more involved in my racing career on the rallies that I am involved with which is a second career for me. I am also in the process of finalizing the sale of my Ralley GMC Typhoon and once my 280GE is sold I will be attaining a UPGRADE Mecedes-Benz SPEED MACHINE so I can WIN some RALLIES, if I don't it is ok as a portion of the SPONSORS that support the rallies goes to charities and I am happy to be apart of a great arena of friends.

Great input that you have thanks for sharing and I have photos available to be viewed of G500 and G55 AMG updates that I have made on my Gwagen. Like I said above you have tremendous amount of Gwagen knowledge here and you are a great asset to the Gwagen arena.

Well it has come to that DAY, my GWAGEN 280ge is sold and on her way to Fairfield, Iowa with the new owner Aaron. I MISS her already BUT since she is sold and my GMC Typhoon it is time for me to GET my new MERCEDES GWAGEN and COMPETE in local sanctioned or Hot-rod RACE RALLYS.
