| Renntech G500 spotted in Encinitas, CA
I took the kids to the movie theatre in Encinitas last night, and parked out front was a very clean Renntech-badged G500. It had one of those Europa winch bumpers, which I had never seen up close before. Very slick. Also had Hella lamps on the bumper. It was hard to tell the color in the dark, but it looked dark blue. Anyone know who that is? It was gone by the time we got out, so I never saw the owner. |

I saw that last week outside Border's off Leucadia. I also saw a well knackered AMG 123 wagon in the same lot! |

Months ago they had a light silver or blue 00 G500 for sale, It had the winch bumper, winch, blower, headers, ecu, brembo brakes, and 18" wheels. It was priced right to, like $45K or something. Ill see if i can find it.

Probably is the same G. Renntech is a very good company. I am biased b/c I have known the owner for a very long time. Their work is outstanding. I am waiting for the 07' G55K to arrive. It will go to Renntech for an upgrade. By the way 07' G55K will NOT be released until January at the earliest. Spoke to MBUSA yesterday. Some issue with certification. I know what could that possibly be..? Who cares, let's just hope it gets here soon.

I hear ya, if i had the money i guess i would go all out on a G55 as well. but some of the other companys make good stuff to these days. Ted baldwin mixmatched parts from brabus, hennessey, and a few other's if im not mistake and he G makes like 605 -615 hp.... Just crazy...
So lets see i only need $105K for the G55, +$16K for upgrades.... that should be 575hp and 650 lbtq 
Then a S65 $195,500 + $12K in renntech stuff...685 hp 870lbtq |

Kerr, Renntech, is proven to me. I know those guys personally for years. Yes others have good bits, but I like Renntech and the fact that it is in my backyard, so to speak. Also for $5-10K you can get some amazing results. JMO...
