I went -25mm. I think the low setting is -32mm. So I'm 7mm higher than the low setting. Not sure why it looks lower in the pics lol.

You can def tell in the rear- If you look at mine, I am sitting at preset low setting on the A Module. There is def more gap back there than on your coupe.

All Mercs have a natural rack like that. I prefer level so I leveled mine.

@Ink how is the ride with that extra 7MM in the rear ? I have to admit I was leery going any lower. The roads in MA are Sh*te.

I'm -25mm all around. I'm +7mm higher than the lowest setting all around. The tires are 295/35/21 compared to the 285/35/21 I think you're on. That's roughly closing the gap by a few mm.

Ride is a little softer. I wanted to make sure the baby woikdy be comfy. Front Tires are at 35 PSI and rear at 38 PSI

My bad. Realized you are actually +7mm higher than low pre-set. This being cooped up in corona-virus quarantine thing has me all jammed up.

Spoiler has arrived. Carbon weave looks really really good. But they forgot the 3M tape. Can anyone confirm the original spoiler is mounted with 3M tape before I attempt removal?

I believe the SUV OEM GLC63 spoiler is secured by screws unfortunately not sure about the coupe version. Any luck finding info on your end ? Are planning on any other CF bits to tie it all together ?

Looking at the online parts catalogue I think the coupes just have double-sided tape. I really wanted the spoiler in black but believe it or not the Carbon was half the price of the painted ones I found. I kept seeing the 43 spoiler even tho it was listed as the 63. The only thing I may do is replace the mirror caps with Carbon Fiber ones but I'll have to see if the Carbon makes a big difference in look.

The 63 spoiler is not secured by screws , Just 3M tape .
I guess it's the same for the coupe .

According to the parts catalogue the SUV has a spoiler nut and the Coupe does not have this nut. I'm assuming that means that the SUV does have at least one screw.

Spoiler went on today. I was debating whether it would be too much or not, but I really love it. The angle and profile is pretty interesting. IMHO makes it look beastly, untamed and rather brute if you will.

BEFORE


AFTER

Thoughts?

Would like to see the entire car profile. The new one is def larger . Now you have to black out those chrome strips on top of the tail-lights.
Cheers

Look what came in the mail today...the AMG emblem I ordered doesn't fit tho 🙄. It looks like the part number is off a 2016 S600 😂 and not a GLC like the eBay ad said.

Hoping to get it on today. I like the hint of chrome with the Merc Star coupled with the AMG logo so I may have to find a way to make it fit.

Grill is a lot harder than I thought. I'm struggling to remove the air dams. Below is a vid I posted...first 20 seconds you can kind of see the side profile.

Grill installed before and after. One of those things where it looks so much better in person. I was worried it would look too ricey but with the other changes I think it sits well.

Also...don't mind the dirty car...I need to get it detailed when the shops open back up.
