Picked it up from my dealer on Wednesday, went straight home start working on the car. So far this is what I did:
1. Carbon fiber side strips
2. Carbon fiber mirror cover
3. Carbon fiber C pillar cover
4. Carbon fiber real spoiler
5. Carbon fiber roof attachment
6. Carbon fiber door handle cover
7. Black put tail lights and break light
8. LCD display protector
9. Seat comforter ( So good.......)
10. Front window tint
11. Dash cam hard wire front and back
12. Truck cover
13. AMG door light
14. Steering wheel. This was the most difficult part. I didn't order the night package since I knew I'm going to do some modification, so I couldn't order carbon fiber steering wheel, plus I don't like the Alcantara on the steering wheel, Got a regular AMG steering wheel with flat buttons then ordered an after market G63 carbon fiber steering wheel. The flat buttons didn't fit on the new steering wheel, so I did quite bit of cutting and modification to make it fit.
Yes, I did all above by myself, and the good news is: I like it ! The bad news is I'm only half way through, I still have a full Barbus body kit need to be installed, plus wheel spacers, and new wheel tires, So far, I love this car, the only bad thing I have to say is the gas/mileage: 11m/gal. I will post more pics when I'm done.
i'm really exhausted, and I'm gonna to take a break, if you ask any questions, I may not respond until later. Thanks
You did a ton of work. Funny, I was looking at the background in your pics (buildings, style of house, etc.) and I thought you might be in Houston. Clear Lake license plate surround confirmed it!
Nice to see people modding these! Are those Diamond Mats in the back?
No, those are not Diamond mats.

I got from Taobao.com, a chinese version of the Alibaba, yes, they have use 3m tape.
I got the steering wheel on the same website, the vendor has a lot of selections. however, the GT buttons fit none of those, I have to cut and trim inside to make it fit.
You dont have any problems with connecting door projectors? I order OEM Mercedes AMG projectors and in rear doors its work without any problems, but in front doors they dont work, trying to understand why

NO, no problem at all. Took me no more than 10 minutes to change all of it, and working great
Nice work, OP! Which dual dash cam are you using? Also is there a difference between centering the back cam vs putting it closer to the hinge side? Thanks!

I use viofo a129 pro duo. I found no difference putting closer to the hinge side
i really hated the alcantara and considered something like this to get the leather / carbon trim. i think you did a good job.i ended up getting the alcantara and carbon wheel and it grew on me a bit. i forgot to add the heated wheel though. anyone know if that is retrofitable?
