That looks great for custom work. The only thing I'd change would be to ditch the brake light. Did you add AMG exhaust tips?

Damn cool. Make it work with a trailer hitch and have the 4th brake light as an option. You could sell quite a few of these.

Very cool am guessing your in the uae or euro countries because you have a gl500 and not a 550 us model. Your truck looks to be lowered ? I like the idea you’ve done if only you can mock up a version for non amg trucks.

Are you saying custom as in you molded and finished the glass/carbon, or custom as you bought it and installed it. There's a company, I think renegade or something like that, that makes this one with the same brake light. Either way, Not for me, but still looks great. !!

Even if it is a near knock-off of the Renegade, that is an impressive looking home-made diffuser. Home-made add-ons or the ill fitting kits from China are very easy to spot. This one isn't.

Actually not inspired by renegade! But inspired by previous larte for GL and recent brabus for GLS. Something between both in simple way without any need to touch or change anything in bumper. Built on the original lower skid to be replaced anytime.

No , i built it on existing lower skid from being shaped by foam, covered by fiberglass& epoxy till painted. I not a professional but i repair my own boat with fiberglass from time to time.
