The professionally installed GS03 bodykit includes widened fenders with sweeping front and rear air vents that blend seamlessly with the custom rocker panels and doors. It also features a sculpted SLR-style hood, an extended trunk lid spoiler, mesh grille inserts, and custom bumpers with a dual central exhaust outlet, The car is said to have been refinished in Iridium Silver Metallic during the widebody install in 2007 and rides on a set of 20” Lorinser LM6 two-piece wheels. The Continental rear tires show production date codes from 2021 while the front Lionhart tires are dated 2023.

A crack is noted on the windshield washer reservoir near the filler cap and a brake fluid test showed moisture on the high side of mid-range.
This sale will include owner’s manuals and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: "Best of the Best" was the title of a Robb Report article in the June issue of 2004. This car looks and drives like brand new but has a uniquely sculptured look that will turn heads and have people ask about its great looks. Only 50 of these GS03 are in the world with just 10 in the US. The Lorinser exhaust system gives a powerful and different sound from the AMG 510 hp supercharged stock engine. Top up, very quiet and comfortable, Top down, feels sporty and fun with great wind deflection.”

Pictures 40-41 are id numbers on the quarter panels on the inside edge of the trunk. The next pictures are under the hood with the model id and you can see how the front fenders are bolted on.
Good question. I think they are fiberglass but it is hard to tell. Lorinser is located somewhere on the east coast and would be the best one to ask. The front fenders are bolted on and painted like factory original fenters and a magnet will not stick to them.
@Seller what are the body panels made of?

Thank You
Wow, what a beautiful car. That’s all, just came to say that.
I am thankful to the staff at Pcar who helped get my car into the auction so quickly. The only correction I want to make is the engine sound on the driving video. The audio is too loud and the car really is a quite purr on the freeway. I am looking to give this car a new home and I am sure the next owner will appreciate this one.
