Gl350 modifications and tuning questions

Hello everyone first time posting in here and new to the Mercedes. Used to play with Audi and vw a lot.
So I want to try and get a lil more aggressive look out of the gl350. Feel free to post pics of what you have done to your.
plan is to de chrome and colour match trim and black out headlights. And alter wheel stance and tire fitment.
also read up that there is two local tuner everyone seems to use in here.
vladimir and benzninja what’s the best way to get ahold of these guys to ask some questions about doing the deletes and probably start fabricate up a decat and dpf

Hey, you guys are doing the OM642 right.
(Getting rid of all the non-value added crap to see what the base construction will do.)


The 7G / 722.9 will hold either 700 Or 400 NM (depending on the W7A700 or W7A400 sticker on it).
i believe the 400 series only made it into the rwd sedans and wagons, not SUVs.

I think you can get there.
