GLC43



Got my mudflaps in and to my surprise the rears are embossed with GLC. It wasn’t described that way in the listing so now I’m trying to figure out if I can get an exchange for plain rears.

Not sure I’ll install them but I’ll mock them up before I install them...whenever the car shows up LOL!

I just ordered the Weisteic air intake. Going to get this 1850 mile rear diff service and off to the tuner she goes. I decided im going to go with weisteic just because of how close they are to me in California. Looking for some Catted downpipes as well. If you guys see any for sale let me know. The downpipes are the same as the W205 C63s.

So I got my hands on some Non-catted downpipes. I ended up buying some GESI Vibant 7830 High Flow Catalic Converters and decided to custom make some catted downpipes.

I then decided what the hell? I am already underneath the car so I pulled the damn ECU out and sent it out to Weisteic...

I am very much looking forward to the power. So all in all with the tune, downpipes and high flow air intake we are thinking I will be around 650 to 670hp to the crank.

Ill keep you guys updated and definitely take some videos. My guy isnt opened on Saturdays so I am really hoping that Weitsteic can get the ECU back Friday morning so i can get the car in the afternoon.

Any updates??? How hard is to pull the ECU out? I heard its a PITA to get it off. Are you planning putting it on a dyno before and after?

Fender trim extension protector.

I got tired of seeing dirt and debris kick ups on the side of the door, plus this will prevent any stone/rock chips hitting the paint directly.
I originally based this on my old Audi Q5 which was equipped with this fender protector extension. So I looked around online see if there is such thing for GLC63, but no dice!
So I turned my attention to DIY and copy the designed of the Audi they used on the Q5. Now, I went a little bit wider on the trim because of my wheel offset, but I was amazed how good it turned out.
It does help, function over form! I can see already the pelted marks on the fender trim, that means its doing its job...
it cost me $9 for everything at Home Depot...

Those look awesome!!

Quick update on Weistec.....

Its been about 3 weeks with no car. They claim that the ECU got bricked some how.. Of course denying on their end. After some deliberation I gave them 2 choices:

1. Get me back the ECU with the tune and refund me the $2722.00 I spent on the tune for the inconvenience.
2. Return me a ECU with stock tune and refund me $3500.00 for the tune and labor involved.

If neither are met then small claims and I would get a lot more ie: rental car, 1 month car payment, refund for tune and labor involved.

They agreed on the first choice and I do commend them for their customer service. Lets hope I'm happy with the tune now!

My car is pretty much dialed in. Now to just do small kinks to the tune.

Here is my car in Sport+ mode. Perfect ride height for me. No rubbing and I only drive city and light on the highway. Dropped the Weistec Intake and man does it look good.

Hate to burst your bubble but you did the dealership a favor taking that off their hands

You never see G Class in red for a reason lol

You may have just made your second worst purchase

Did you get a good deal on the 18 at least? The 19 is significantly redesigned. The red doesn’t bother me at all. More the 18 v 19. Did you hate the GLC so much you couldn’t wait a few more months for the 19s to release? Is there more to the story?

I got 10k off sticker but they bought my other back for what I paid for it.

As for thw 19s. I have decided no more first year vehicles for me. I have had really bad luck with two McLarens, a 2017 R8 and now a first year GLC63 that makes me want to wait.

I loved the the idea of the GLC63 but I originally went in to buy a G63. I’ll pick the wife up one next year maybe if they shake them out real good.

Well you really can’t go wrong with a G. And if you need the thrill, just take out your Audi. Good luck.

I am stoked with the red. It's pretty close in color to my R8 in certain lights.

I love the red. I would have gotten red if this was the GLC red. I just do not find the cardinal bright enough.

I will miss the red on my jeep but at least I have red seats on the GLC
