Hello,
Congrats on your New G55. The mostly done upgrades would be the G63 facelift, BRABUS Front Spoiler, BRABUS rear Bumper II w/LED, Exhaust, ECU tune, and BMC filters. Also, since your G55 is black, a black out package also. Please let us know if you'd like a quote on all these parts.
Thank you!

Is that a 2011? Get smoked side markers on ebay for cheap. I replaced my silver side strips with carbon fiber ones. Small but great mods.
Anyone have a good solution to bring back the color on the faded plastic parts. The one on the hood is especially bad. I have the same problem.

I just did the plastic parts on my hood and sides of the front fenders with this:
Came out beautifully

Thanks for that. I may have to do it myself. Haven't investigated the effort required to remove the bits to hit them with the spray. Any pics of before / after? 1 coat, 2 coat? Any clear. Sorry for the questions!! Will probably do this in the next few weeks.

Just realized you had other questions.
2 coats of the paint paint in the link. No clear coat needed.

Must-do is the 5" lift that we specially developed for the G-Wagon body about a year ago. Since we released it we've had two G-Wagons in for the treatment every single week.

Thanks, but I can barely get it in the garage as it is. Truth be told i'd even be open to looking at maybe a 30-35mm drop on it with some lower springs.

Hahah yea that'd definitely pose a problem. A set of custom forged wheels can still be made for the G whether it's stock ride height, lowered, or with our 5" Lift.
