The problem with giving cars like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a gift is that it’s near impossible to guess the exact configuration the recipient would want. Sure, a red coupe is nice, but what if the giftee really wanted a Yosemite Blue SLS AMG with a blue interior?

Fret not, oh generous one, since the AMG Performance Studio in Affalterbach, Germany stands at the ready to correct your gift-giving faux pas. Its able-bodied craftsman will customize your AMG vehicle just about any way your imagination and budget will allow.

The video below may seem like 2:15 of semi-organized chaos, but it gives a good idea of the immense amount of work involved in professionally painting a car and replacing its interior. When people ask us questions about restoration costs, we generally advise them to set a budget at the high end of their expected range, then double it. If AMG is handling the work, you probably want to round up, too.

For those AMG owners who want to stand out from the crowd, the AMG Performance studio offers design and color options that you simply can’t get through a Mercedes-Benz dealer. Expect the work to be as good or better than Mercedes-Benz original craftsmanship, at a price to match.
