Help with color, and mods
Have a 2019 G550 that goes into production 2nd week of April, and I’m still debating exterior color selection. Any thoughts on Designo Graphite Metallic vs Designo Olive Metallic? The former feels safer, but the Olive would be more unique.

Also, thinking about a few mods. Anyone have experience with the Renntech ECU tune? What about rock sliders for the 2019 550? Last question would be if anyone know where to get the 18” black 5-spoke rims that are an OEM option on the European spec G-Wagens?

Thanks for all the help.

Olive is nice but you need to be in a sunny state. Otherwise the green won’t shine. Both are nice, but IMO stay away from Matte finish.

The new Matte finishes are not at all like the older ones. The new Matte finishes are bulletproof.
