No, air bladder and pulsating option on the seats will not be functional. CLS63 seats that I'm installing will have the same functions as the original seat on G500.

Today I tacked gluing stitched leather on to a B-pillar. After couple hours of messing with it, lining it up, making sure the stitches are straight... I'm happy with end results. Tomorrow ill finish this one up by wrapping the leather around the edges.
Seatbelt opening trim (black piece) on b-pillar needs a little bit more adjustment, due to additional thickness of the leather, it needs a little bit of additional trimming in order for it to sit properly.

Looks great. Just thinking...with all the extra sound deadening you installed coupled with the quilted trim pieces this truck should be quiet as a tomb. Can't wait to see the final results. Thanks for keeping us up to date with detailed posts and pictures.
If you purchase G63 or G550 grille they are easy to install on to a G500. No modification is required.
I took mine apart to get it painted and then I reassembled all the pieces. It comes in a lot of pieces but I did not have any issues. Some clips were pretty tight on there when I was taking it apart, but nothing broke.
Prepping door panels prior to wrapping them in leather.
Since in some areas of the door panel the tolerance is very tight ( door grab handle, door open handle, speaker area, seat control wood trim) I'm carefully cleaning out the top door panel foam around those openings m so that after the leather is glued, those parts will still fit. Otherwise, if you don't do that, the addition of leather thickness will make the space smaller and those parts will not fit .
I'm also laying 1/8 thick foam on outfacing surface of the door panel to give the door panel a little smoother finish and so it's soft to the touch when all said and done.

Another question was which wire from original plug went to the new plug for the xenon headlight. FYI: only first 4 pins are used on the xenon headlight, other pins are for self leveling, etc...
After all this leather work you should open up a baseball factory. Thanks again for all the information and especially the photos which explain so much.
