Not sure how they would hold up through all of the elements since they are being held on only by adhesive.
If you like the amg 4 tip exhaust, I have a potential solution.
1. Buy adhesive amg 4 tip exhaust.
2. Go to wherever you get duck tape.
3. But a role of black or clear tape.
4. Install adhesive exhaust.
5. Tape around the exhaust.
6. Enjoy

not the rims. The tires. I believe 18s and 19s come with Pirelli scorpion Verde. You have continental. Did you swap them out or did they come with the car? Is it a change for 2020?

Oh sorry. I misread. I thought you were talking about the wheels.

No, I didn't switch out. They came that way. I'm assuming all '20s do? Not sure though.

The problem with that is you would see the duct tape around the tips. I'm not sure how you would hide that. And after all of the elements here in MO (100 degree temps in summer, rain and -5 degrees with snow and ice in winter) I don't think the tape would hold up at all. I'd be better off putting on some Gorilla Glue inside the tips prior to sticking to exhaust. I think that actually may work instead of using the adhesive they send out.

huh. It definitely won't work for me. Yah you can see the tape. I actually think gorilla may do the trick. Here in portland where we get 60+ inches of rain, glue is definitely not an option. But it may work for you.

Well, the glue would be inside the new tips and fitting atop the existing tips (I think that's how they attach). If so, then the glue itself wouldn't come into contact with any of the elements. It should stick on there for good. I've never seen anyone who's added these before, so I'd be curious to see how they physically look. I'm afraid some of the chrome may show through on edges.

About the tips, I found some cheap ones with free shipping.

Those won't fit mine. I can see the chrome through the new tips. I'm not sure I want to go that route. I guess I could just keep current setup and get mine painted or coated. Or pay the $3k and get all new AMG style back-end.

No particularly, no. I like the grill of mine. That was the main reason why I didn't get the Night Pack. I wanted to keep my existing grill and not do the diamond AMG style.
