2013 G63 AMG pics

Just got it Tuesday and I am loving every mile.

Mods that will happen soon:
-wheels done in black [either gloss or satin]
-remove brush guard
-change interior trim to CF or piano black [trade, anyone?]
-maybe Renntech ECU tune
-maybe front window tint to match back

I love it. I tried for an early delivery of a G but had to cancel when the dealer could not get the order pulled for a build date as early allocations all sold.
Settled for a Cayenne turbo in White with the 21 SE Gloss Black wheels, which I am sure will look great on your truck..Like you not sure of that brush guard with a white G..And I can see why that wood has just got to go on the interior.

That's an awesome truck! My only suggestion to your mods is to also paint the orange reflectors in the front and red reflectors in the back to body color.

Do your keys have the Affalterbach AMG badge on the back? (looks like: https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...ers-today.html )

Yes I have those keys, which is cool because my CLS63 didn't come with them. I noticed it immediately - it's the details that make these vehicles extra cool.

While both trucks are high horsepower - the G63 couldn't be more different from a CT. The CT will slaughter the G63 in performance but the G63 has an incomparable character to anything I've ever driven. It has a real road-crushing feeling

LOVE your CT - that's just how I would want one!

All true.. Mine also has Sport Package which is Dynamic Chassis Control and Vector Traction. The truck has absolutely no body roll on curves and really handles like a performance car. I still have the hots for the designo mystic blue G63 I had on order though.. HMMMM

Nice! Finally see these are arriving over here. Are you considering any aftermarket wheels, or just sticking with the stock and painting them? We did a G55 some months back, would definitely fit the description (titanium graphite dark finish) of what you are going for!

did ur truck come with convenience telephony? option EH-2.

I got a letter from my dealer saying this is not working with the NTG4.5 ( i assume command)

Thus bluetooth is the only option for hands free call

The only options we get to choose in the US are exterior color, interior color, wheels, silver or red calipers, interior trim, and Designo Exclusive/diamond stitched interior.

My truck has Bluetooth and I can dial from the car, but I am not sure if that is what you are asking.

there used to be a connector in the centre armrest for mobile phone to connect. But this option according to my letter has been removed. Bluetooth is as standard.

I have a phone connector in my center console - but I think it is more for charging and listening to iPhone music.

Had one on order since the first part of April but the dealer screwed the order up so I got my deposit back and found this one in AZ at a dealer. The overall quality is what you would expect for a $135k truck - excellent. Infotainment is excellent though not as good as Porsche and Audi's offerings. The time I washed the truck I used a lightweight ladder to get to the roof and my friend who maintains our vehicles will likely do the same. You don't want to be crawling up the side and leaning all over it!

If you don't mind my asking. What troubles did you have with the order. I experienced problem w local dealer myself. Seeming lack of interest --thought maybe he wanted me to buy from existing/expected inventory. Went elsewhere eventually

Got the piano black interior trim & also got wheels done black and side indicators done white. You can't see it in these photos but the wheels really make the red calipers stand out. Now waiting on the bumper inserts for deleting the brush guard [ordered 2 weeks ago].

Looks great. Did you get the wheels powder coated or painted? What was the price of the trip replacement and who did the install?

I ended up getting the smoked side indicators for my black g55 and they look great.

Any other tweaks coming other than the guard delete.

Love the painted side reflectors. May need to paint the screws too.

For the trim, you ordered all new pieces from the dealer and did a direct swap? So now you've got an extra set of matte trim laying around? I might know someone interested in buying it if you want to get rid of it.
