Actually the previous owner had it wrapped.

Finally posting a shot of mine. Really wish I had the black multi-spoke. Thinking of powder-coating these, but I want to have the silver lip.

Current mods: Full front end, mirror caps and fenders wrapped.
Future mods: Wheels? Intake? Black out the grill? Panamericana grill? So many decisions..

Appreciate it! Took far too long to join the German side.

Nothing too crazy but definitely want to lower it on H&R springs and aftermarket wheels. Also looking into a panamericana grille and a carbon trunk lip.
But I find German cars look/feel so good as is, which was what enticed me to jump ship, whereas JDM cars have tons of aftermarket support (especially aero/cosmetic)

Did you buy your wheels after the fact or did they come with the car? Looks great!

Right on. Heard good things about H&R springs and they look great once settled. I was a big JDM head before, had a '99 Civic Si with the B16 engine. Loved the sound of the VTEC. Been driving German since 2007.

Grats! It is an upgrade still cuz horsepower bump (people say it is just marketing)

New steering wheel, wider infotainment screen, digital speedo and tachometer (technology package), 84 LEDs for headlights (with the technology package), porsche like steering wheel controls for drive modes (the round thing with a display) improved damping of suspension..

I personally don't like the facelift headlights and taillights and that they got rid of the diamond pins but I am getting annoyed by the problems with my 2017 and highly considering trading it in, please do let me know your experience and post pictures once you get it.
Wish you driving pleasure for the years to come.

I kind of agree with the updated LED head lights, but if you look at it at night, the light pattern is awesome and unique with those 2 smaller LED's on the side of the main headlight. The "alien eyes" headlights from Pre-facelift or the non upgraded LED ones look more aggressive during the day. What package is the drive mode steering wheel? I have Command but didn't get the extra button, but just the touch pad thing.
I think the front end update looks more aggressive and miles better than the pre-facelift. The diffuser/quad pipe and the digital screen is what sold me. Gorgeous design. I wish I got the AMG sport seats now, everyone said its uncomfortable but I come from all my cars being on coil overs that everything just feels so squishy.

awesome looking car! when installing the panamericana is there any issues if you have the intelligent drive package, I was hearing that if you have that then it might not work? just curious because I was thinking of doing the same thing on my 2020 but opted against it because of what I heard.

I believe that comes when you get the AMG drivers package, but if you did a build and price I think thats an add on I dont remember.

when I ordered the car and added the Amg Drivers package this steering wheel came with it
