Found it on ebay. Price is decent. I guess I'll find out after it arrives. I don't have a CLS63, I'm referring to the bumper for CLS550, just in case there is any confusion. In terms of looks, is there anything you can think of that's different?

From going through the thread I see you have your doubts about the facelift, don't you think the pre-facelift looks dated?

Seems like I am the only one interested in this. Nevertheless, I will keep updating. I bought a used 2016 AMG type bumper cover(CLS550) but it is bumper cover only, no trims, no grilles, etc. The Grilles and trims are amazingly very difficult to source if not buying new. Any suggestions?

Lol their prices are ridiculous. No thanks.

$59 for a start /stop button that's $12 on eBay ..

Too funny.
reminds me of the guy on here that sells everybody a rear spoiler for $160 that cost $80 anywhere else online

I don’t work for this company all I’m doing if giving my fellow Benz lovers options and yes your right some of the stuff is over priced but you just have to be smart on what you buy from them I bought my start stop button from eBay too but for 8$ what I’m saying is just do you research it’s just another source for stuff that’s not offered anywhere else 🤔🙌🏼

Pretty cool!

For the larger screen on the inside, do you also need a new dashboard?

No, I bought my screen from DMP car designs... it’s a kit very easy to install retrofitted for your model car! It cost me $599 & I installed the screen myself! The screen is touchscreen, 4k res, and compatible with your old operating system! Fully intergrates with your control wheel... it’s android based and better than the screens that come in the 2015-18 models!

AMG styles is what I have pictured! The non amg styled it’s chromed valanced pieces! You don’t get the side marker lights, you don’t get the diamond grill, you don’t get the chrome trim on the bumper and sideskirts...

amy gremlins with that model? I’ve heard stories of a lot of frustration from a few members. Don’t know if it was DMP, but some others like CKM and Aliexpress.

None whatsoever! I’ve had mine for about 6months now & not one problem... also DMP is pretty good with his customer service if you have any questions about your product! This by far is one of my favorite upgrades on this car! Also be sure to get the second gen! The 1st gen has all the old updates and operating system & cannot be updated to the second gen!! Be sure you’re getting the newest version of the screen!
