2016 G550 Brush Guard Eliminator Kit?

Hi all. Taking delivery of a 2016 G550 this week and I'd like to remove the brush guard that US G550's come with. I'm trying to find the 2016 brush guard cover parts and am having some difficulty as the pieces seem to only be available for G63 bumpers which are slightly different. Please see below a link to the G63 parts I'm referring to as well as a link to a photo of the new 2016 G550 bumper. Any help in finding/buying this part would be much appreciated.

Hello, I searched and found this thread. I am buying a 2016 or 2017 G550 in Palladium Silver and also would like to remove the brush guard. I also can't find the body color painted covers. Anyone able to help me source them? Also whats involved in removing the stock brush guard?

Thanks

Hi,

Since originally asking this, I found the parts. See below link-

As far as how much work is involved, the brush guard only requires removing two bolts so it's very simple. The eliminator caps come in bare plastic though so they must be painted or wrapped. I have a black truck so I just wrapped mine but I imagine it would be harder to match silver paint with a wrap. Other than that, very simple. Hope that helps.

Wow tremendous! Thank you!! I'm placing my order for the 2017 on Thursday. It's going to be a painful wait until December but I'm excited. At least I can spend the time shopping for parts and accessories. ; )
