The rub strips were replaced, not painted.

You can put matte black vinyl over the stripes. Works great.

Really excellent! Questions:
Did you install new grill, bumper and wheel flares? Also, where did you get your mirrors? Do all the functions work?

Best looking White G63 I've seen. Nice mods, subtle but different.

Yeah, my bad. I mistaken thought it was a facelift, not original G63. Apologies.

Really digging the white and black theme



Do you have a link on the side markers, badges and rub strips?

Also, did you change out the rear red fog light to clear?

Just picked up a 2105 G550 in mystic white. I'm getting some 22" XO Milan wheels in matte black. And I like your move on blacking out the chrome.

What did it cost to powder coat the brush guard and running boards?

Thanks!!

Wheel Spacers
The bolts that came with the spacers worked perfectly as they should.

was there any plastic pieces that needed removed on the front brushguard before powder coating and also the side steps? The side steps have those long rubber pieces are they easy to remove and reinstall?

I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if you remember what % tint you got? I'm trying to go for that look on my new G550. Do you have any more pictures?

How did you powder coat the running boards?

I've tried to refurbish mine (the chrome is worn) but couldn't get the rubber stripping off (preventing me from polishing or painting it) the plates.
