Picked up my G wagen after wanting one for a long time but never getting around to pulling the trigger on one. I'm a bit finicky with cars and sell and trade a lot so I've had the G63 for about 6 months to make sure I liked it and wanted to keep it before I started putting too much money into it. Started with 20mm H&R spacers front and back which really beefed up the look and makes those wheels fill the bigger fenders properly.

I've had the wrap done of course. It's a love it or hate it thing. I obviously love it, can't drive the truck without people taking pics at stoplights and asking about it and people are always taking pics with it in parking lots. Next was tune. I've used Renntech and always had outstanding performance and service, but I started using them due to living within 30 minutes of them. I don't live there any more so looked around at different options. I've used weistec and eurocharged in the past as well with MB vehicles. Didn't have any issues with them but also wasn't overly impressed with the gains so looked elsewhere. I ended up going with AMS/Alpha Performance this time and holy **** what a beast they've made with their M157 tune. Tons of power/torque any time you want it, pulls like a monster until you let off. In Comfort mode its still an easy daily driver (within the realm of a G being a DD), in S its a banshee and you can easily get traction loose with all 4 wheels which is pure joy and laughs every single time. Shifts are marginally harsher with hard driving but on par with what I've seen from all the other companies for the tune. I like it so much that I tried to get them to tune my S8 but they don't do that engine haha.

I've ordered a valved Quicksilver exhaust, seems like an excellent mix of sound without drone and ability to close the valves for quiet operation. Haven't gotten it yet.

Other minor stuff...swapped out the rear badges for black versions, powdercoated brush guard black, AMG door pins, gwagenparts seat rails, procilp phone mount, AMG center caps that I still need to put on, JL sub/amp to fill out missing bass in stock system. Pulled the spare off for now and have rubber grommets with Allen head cap screws filling the holes.

Stuff left to do...black side steps, wrap surround of front grille.

Looks great. What is the base color under the wrap? Black (hence the roof?)?

Any pics of the sub-install or other details about the audio upgrade?

Congrats and keep the pics coming.

Thanks, it's silver with the night package. I left the fenders, bumpers, roof etc black for a little contrast. We used the silver as an additional color. Nothing particularly special about the sub install, it's just sitting in the back with the amp hidden in the side panel out of view. Easy enough to just unhook the speaker wire if I need the space. Gain knob under the dash so dial it down depending on what I'm listening to.
