I read on some forums with good reviews and it doesn't require any drilling.
They make good stuff from what I read as well but was sly brackets not mentioned prior?

It was mentioned in post 12 and said it will not work for the W214.

Sadly, there is no E-Class newer than 2023 on their fitments list:

I've found that to be common in a lot of sites that allow you to search by year, make, and model. I guess it's still too new even though it's been out for almost 2 years now.

Sorry for the confusion my question was meant to reply to the other forum member of which recommended sly brackets and I forgot if sly brackets was already mentioned as incompatible.

What were some specific limitations that made it incompatible with the W214, curious.

I cannot say, but I'm referring to search forms that many car sites have. You select the make (Mercedes-Benz) then the model (E450), and then year, but there is no 2024 or 2025. Even this board has that issue if you want to specify your car in the control panel. Although that one is missing many years. Many parts on other sites such as Amazon say that a part does not work for my car when I know that it does. Likely due to the seller not adding the new MY for the car. It makes it difficult to find parts unless you know it works.

What about a stick-on replica? And you can shrink the size. Have no idea if it passes regulations - but a clever idea.

Here's the image that Carbonio shows on their site. I suspect it isn't accurate. It would be helpful if we see a post with an actual installation on an AMG E53.
