Yeah, I asked one of the dealerships here about that. They said they could do for around $3,000. I asked another shop here where I take my car for maintenance and he said that there is not a retro-fit for my specific car for the Night Pack. He said I'd have to do an after-market kit to fit. I never checked on prices for that. Definitely not paying $3,000 to remove that chrome. The paint shop that did my wheels and other chrome quoted me at $700 for doing front and back chrome. The back would look strange though having the OEM gloss black paint directly below the black plastic.

3k is too much for such a small change. I think that chrome really stands out while the rest of the car is blacked out. $700 seems more reasonable, I would say do it if you like it. I can't seem to find any pics of that.

KCSam

I was going to go the paint route, but then decided against it. I sort of like the chrome against all of the black, too. Even the paint guy who I was working with who did the estimate said he really likes it the way it is now and wouldn't do the paint.

ParjAS

All right

ParjAS

You could get your headlamp and taillamp casings smoked =, but I have a feeling that this is just going a bit overkill right?

KCSam

I'd need to see what that looks like since I don't recall seeing any before.

ParjAS

Me neither. I think somebody else with mods left can use this thread. Nothing left you can do. Just send us pics OP

ParjAS

Any updates OP on your modifications?

KCSam

No. The calipers aren't scheduled to be sent until 8/6.

ParjAS

Anything else in particular you have been thinking about doing to your glc?

KCSam

Not particularly. I'm going tomorrow afternoon to get my door lock pin on the front passenger side fixed. While there I'll talk directly to the guys in parts and see what they say about getting the back bumper replaced with Night Pack one since I'm getting two different stories from two shops (even though they are owned by the same company).

ParjAS

funny huh

ParjAS

So have you decided whether you want the night pack rear end or to stick with the oem default that you already have?

ParjAS

Your calipers are supposed to arrive tomorrow correct?

ParjAS

I also like the amg front fascia that you get with the night pack. Maybe you can do that also? I'll post pics of the fascia in the next post.

ParjAS

Here you go.

I'm not sure if this is even replaceable, or if it costs a fortune to replace. I like the look though.

KCSam

They're set to ship tomorrow. I haven't seen any updates, so not sure if that's still the plan.

KCSam

I asked the parts guy today and they said Mercedes is weird about adding parts to vehicles. He said they can't all the info needed on parts to see if we could do it. At this point I'm probably sticking with what I have until I know what parts are needed definitively.

KCSam

I like that a lot, but no one there can tell me if we can do it since my specific car wasn't "built" with those parts/features.

ParjAS

Huh? They aren't helping. They know as much as you do.

ParjAS

Funny. Anyone in this forum know whether such a swap is possible?

ParjAS

Did the calipers arrive today or did they get postponed?

ParjAS

This is the hard part to figure out. Last year, if you got the amg line you basically kept everything intact save for the brakes, and a tiny tweak to the front fascia. It is likely possible to swap to an amg line styling. This year, getting the amg line gives you a whole front redesign. Which is probably why nobody knows how to replace it.

KCSam

They're not helpful when it comes to parts, no. They said Mercedes doesn't give the proper part numbers if you want to make upgrades to a vehicle that didn't come equipped with those parts in the first place. The best they can do is pull up a VIN that has the parts I want, and then see if they can piece together, but they aren't sure all of the parts that would be needed.

KCSam

I have a question into them this morning to check the status of my order.
