I design concept cars as a hobby and here's a GL63 AMG I designed. Please let me know what you think about the car. I'll eventually build the GL63 as pictured.

I like the look, especially the single bar across the grille like the SLS and other current AMG's. That being said, im not a fan of the lower fascia...the fogs need to go! With the fog lamps it reminds me of a Q7 with the S line package. It just has too many different levels of bumper, if that makes any sense. Maybe drop the LED bars down and widen the air dam??? I also really like the black head lamps, it reminds me of the optional head lamps found on early W164's. Whatever you do, dont put gigantic twin air damns on the front like the X5M, they say its for the intercoolers, but its simply overdone. Hope this is what you were looking for.

I agree.

Name Brand- very professional looking job though, repect. Only thing I'd change to the text is you repeat off-road twice when, with such big rims, I'd argue how "ready" it actually is. I'd lose the first reference.

Funny, I always thought a single-bar grille would be awesome on the GL too.

Nice pics YYZ-E55. I agree the 1 bar grille is a good facelift for the GL63 and simplifies the front while still keeping it sporty and in-line with other MB models.
