Does anyone know if the Carbon Fiber package gets you the running boards and exhaust in black by default? The order guide says that opting for the Carbon Fiber pkg. excludes you from selecting any of the night packages.

Ok, so in the photos in the guide no brush bar like the Euro models we have seen but yet the night and magno night packages mention a black brush guard? Thoughts on whether they are dropping it or not? Waiting on the AMG but curious as I haven’t seen a refreshed model with the brush guard yet…
Here are a few pics of a couple 2025 G550's that are corporate demos that showed up at my local dealership. The brush guard are present on both.

I want to order a 2025 in Hyper Blue Magno just like in this video but with the black running boards, black side exhaust, black emblems on the truck, etc but without the black bumpers and fenders. Is that possible? In that video it's Hyper Blue Magno with all black elements without the black bumpers and fenders but I don't want the exterior carbon package. I don't like the rear tire cover in all carbon. I only want the carbon interior. If I can build it the way I want it then I'll definitely get Hyper Blue Magno since it's a new color that's never been offered before and it looks so stunning!

From what I can tell, the euro models have more flexibility when it comes to mixing different package elements. The US ordering options are way more restrictive. When ordering my 2025 with my dealer, I wanted to get the platinum Magno paint with the standard night package. The system would not allow it. I could only get the Magno paint with the extended night package Magno, that does indeed add the black bumpers and wheel arches.

If that's the case then I'll probably just order another Night Black Magno because then I can get it how I want it without different color bumpers and wheel arches. I hate the black bumpers and wheel arches on any color car that's not black. So annoying. I already have a 21 Night Black Magno and I really wanted to get a different color so it feels like a totally new car from the exterior and interior. Night Black Magno is my fav color for the G's but I didn't want two trucks in a row in the same exact color. Makes me less excited about getting a new one that looks 99.5% identical from the outside. If I have to get the Night Black Magno again I'll completely change the interior but I really would like the Hyper Blue Magno built to my specs! Ugh.
I'd look into the dark chrome package I think that will get you what you want with the magno because I'm looking into that too--darkened bits without changing the bumpers or wheel arches.
The only thing that remains to be seen is what the bull bar will look like, but that's something that can be fixed after the fact with powder coating.
I highly recommend changing colors when changing G's. Take it from me lol. Otherwise it feels weird.

Does the dark chrome package come with the black running boards, black side exhaust tips, black brush guard, and black badging on the truck? If so that would be a solution to our problem! Please keep me posted if you hear anything. I've spoken to many others on this forum who are in the same predicament. I totally agree with you and def want to change colors to Hyper Blue Magno (1) or Arabian Grey (2) as long as I can build it how I want and get the look I want!
If you believe the crappy order guide (lol) it says this under the dark chrome package:
MANUFAKTUR front simulated underguard in dark chrome
MANUFAKTUR Black Running Boards - name
MANUFAKTUR spare wheel cover with ring in dark chrome
AMG emblem in Dark Chrome and Exterior Badging in Dark Chrome
MANUFAKTUR Dark Chrome Package (P61)
MANUFAKTUR bumper insert in dark chrome
However at the end of the guide when they show the package it doesn't mention the running boards so who knows. I do think it's an odd package since it's similar to the night package but it seems like a good compromise of night and night package plus.
I just put my G63 order in. Thought you would find this interesting. At my local dealer they have 7 orders for G63, 4 for electric and only one for 550 even though they have 4 550 build slots.
Where is your dealership? Looking to order a 550 for delivery before December 🙂
When Porsche recently announced the 911 GTS T-hybrid, I immediately went to Porsche.com and configured a GTS and then sent the code to my dealer.
In contrast, the 2025 G63 was announced in late March and Mercedes still has the 2024 G63 online configurator and so we are reliant on an order guide (kindly provided by Eaton) which is challenging to use because of omissions (e.g., is the steering wheel heated?) and compatibility (e.g., can you select any wheel to replace the gold wheels in the Performance Package?). I also found the Netstar configurator to have some idiosyncrasies such as when I added the carbon fiber steering wheel to the carbon fiber interior and package RR1 was mysteriously added (spare wheel ring in body color). After deleting RR1, the carbon fiber steering wheel remained but the Manufaktur Interior Package Plus was removed! It took four configurations to achieve the desired result.

The MB online configurator has always been more of a marketing tool. For serious people who want to order, they want to get you into the dealer to do it in NetStar.
NetStar should be considered the source of truth when ordering.
