Looks Great! Where did you get her from?

Suggestion...order a 4x4 Square Rear Door, and you'll have a cleaner look.

Love the Edition 463 Side Stripes...

Reminds me of our 2016 G63 we traded in for the 4x4!

I ordered a regular used g63 rear door had Tommy body shop fiber glass it and weld it waiting for it to be done and ordered an emblem painting it black should look the same FYI LOVING the tire setup on yours bro
Also I own a leasing company in Staten Island so got her pretty cheap

Looks amazing, congrats. The mansory turn markers are a nice touch. Did you wrap the sidemarkers? Do they still emit light or are they blacked out? I've concluded on my next G I'm going to just have the body shop paint/fill the side markers all together. Can you post a detail shot of the side steps? And what did you do again on the skid plate?

One "mod" on the 2017s is the removal of the little stub antenna on the front center of the truck. Subtle detail on the 17s but one of my favorite little tweaks on an already perfect car. For that reason alone I'm either going to buy a 17 or 18 if they end up producing a w463. I want the last year of the W463 but will probably hold off till the w464 reveal just to see.

Congrats again. Any interior mods?

PM me if you ever sell it and want to see if go to a good home!

i had the side markers plastidipped which is honestly whatever i was bored and did it at home. it still emits a little light through it.

ill post close ups of the side steps no problem with a close up of the side markers.

i put the front skid plate on and i actually am waiting for the rear skid plate to come in which will be a damn cool add like the 4x4 g wagons.

only other things im considering doing are the brabus exhaust and a lift kit with nice off road tires.

and then i think im set

lol, where is the rest of the bottom bit? It is supposed to cover the Fuel Tank, looks like they just cut that part out, defeating the purpose?

Nice work. She looks great. I had to look up "ALP laser hammer"

Those turn signals do give a very different look.

The rear certainly looks nice without a tire, but I sure hope you don't get a flat tire...

Looks like the door is a bit different color than the body.
