Looks unique. But the off center GLE badge on the rear is making my eyes water.
Are you planning on doing anything else to it on the exterior?

yeah, they were supposed to put the badge in the factory location I think they were trying to line everything up.

Just didn’t want the 580 on there…
maybe debadge it - good call.

I put 2 BMC air filter in - considering MEISTERSCHAFT axle back exhaust.

other than that, just the powder coated wheels - possibly tint the rear tail lamps a little bit darker but that’s about it

Do you have the acoustic package? If so then you might want to ceramic tint the pano because that's the only glass that won't have the infrared blocking. If not, then you might want to ceramic tint everywhere since you're in AZ.

Niize post the next mods here. I like seeing non stock GLEs as this forum is mostly dead on any modification topics. I support your spirit!

Also Im sure the GLE in the middle like that looks good to majority of the people looking at it. To me it just stands out because I changed out my chrome to black OEM emblems in the last 2 weeks so I know the exact location and I can not un see it.

I would have kept the 580 emblem just for bragging rights. It is extremely rare!

Definitely one of a kind. Personally, I don't think the "military look" fits this vehicle, but if you like it that's all that matters. Enjoy - you will certainly get attention.

You clearly weren't draft-worthy in the 60s....

I remember lusting after a 68 GTO in OD, then cringing when I saw one on the train as I was getting my first military haircut, on the ride to Basic Training.

P.S. I enlisted. My Official Haircut gave me a sense of dread, as intended!
