Aerodynamic Package Question

I have just received my AMG GTS

I'm aware that the optional AMG GT Aerodynamic Package is the same Kit from the Edition one model.

Does anyone here have any experience with fitting this optional package on their GT?

I know the standard rear spoiler extends past a certain speed, if I were to fit the fixed rear spoiler I would like to disable the rear spoiler extending automatically.

Retrofitting this will cost a small fortune. I don't even know if it can be done On rear.

A member here Emeric is purchasing the Front parts from the aero package and installing them. He will at least give you that information in 3,2,1......

The front package (5 pieces) can be purchased in the US for about $1,200.
Install is super easy based on the diagram I got from the dealer.
The rear is another story as once I got the "can't disable the computer settings on the automatic rear spoiler for liability reasons" from the stealership, I did not dig into the cost.
If you really need to have it, I would talk to Renntech as they did it on their aero package.
AMG17GT: was I fast enough responding??

Contact Weistec, they can program the ECU to turn off the rear wing deployment. They converted one of their shop GT's to a fixed wing.

Until the 2017's hit the market the only way you will be able to order the aero package components is with an Edition 1 VIN number since the aero pkg was only offered on Edition 1 cars for 2016.

You can just go on Auto Trader and there are a couple Editon 1's for sale, pull the VIN's off one of those listings. If that doesn't work I can give you the VIN off my old one.

OK yea this is an issue as far as the software and I am working on it tonight. Was at Weistec today and they haven't figured it out either. What I am going to try to do is install the motor with out the wing so it works fooling the software. It basically has two micro switches that get pushed down indicating when it is up or down. Wish me luck...lol

Physical installation of the wing is easy and the only real issue with the software is it limits you to 125....which won't work for this is weekend at the track

Stay tuned

SLS AMG BS, G63, GT-R and others.
What happens if you press down both microswitches at the same time?

Hi,

did anyone install the aerodnamic package on the front bumper? I'm planning on doing it on my 2017 GT and would like to know, if I have to take off the whole front bumper for that.

Thanks!

Andreas
