What else can I do to my GLK?

I have 22" black and red wheels, 2 12" subwoofers in a custom box wrapped in vinyl with an 1100 watt amp, red suspension lighting and red interior lighting, I painted all the chrome on my car black (except the front mercedes emblem which i painted red), and i have tint. Is my car done or can i do anything else? I live close to renntech if you have any ideas but i can't think of anything else to do.

Only thing I can think of is tinting your rear taillights?
Anyways, mind post pictures?

I know everyone got a different tasted but I think you should have left the chrome as is.

Your rims would have looked good anyway. Maybe get the new LED driving lights?

But it's my 2 cent.

Big brake kit with those huge rims...surprized calipers are not red
Take out orange deflectors
That hitch now sticks out like sore thumb, it'd do something about it.
I actually like ths blacked out pieces, just gotta be careful putting things in the trunk.
Taillights looks good the way they are with just middle part tinted.
How about xenons? and matching fog lights

OK, so when some idiot hits me with their car from behind and i have a huge dent in my back bumper i can blame you.? It may make my car look a little better but i'm not going to risk it. It's like extra protection in my back.

The GLK looks great! Personaly, I would have gone with all black wheels but that is just my opinion. I like the blacked out chrome pieces...

Re the hitch, sorry to say but it won't pevent damage to your back bumper. If and when someone slams into it hard enough, it will need to be replaced regardless.

you're more than welcome to blame me. i'll send you a tissue!! now a days most cars bumpers are plastic. the hitch would go right through their bumper and your still getting rear bumper damage. also if a vehicle the has metal bumpers hits you, it's most likely a pick-up that sits higher and now you have a damaged bumper and tailgate. the only way you'll get away with no damage with a hitch, is if they bump you on a rolling idle.
i just think the hitch kills the look of a glk. especially leaving the receiver in.

^ what he said

but, I don't know how hard it is to take it off, it's made very well if you look at it from underneath, there is a huge metal bar behind the bumper. I would try finding a good hitch cover, they have a ton of them.

Take that 4 matic badge off asap! As someone else stated, if u don't already have, deff xenons, 8000k, with matching xenon fogs. I would also tint the front windshield at about 35 percent... Other then that, pretty mean vehicle!

Don't let the bull**** get the best of you... there is plenty of it on here... but there is also tons of good info...

All types of GLKs on here... factory loaded ones, customized ones, base models...

I could of straight up bought some of the rides on here with the down payment I put on mine!

And hey, at least you've posted pics of your ride! Some guys on here have been posting for months but not one picture of their GLK...

As long as you like your ride that's all that matters!.. I wish I could hear the sound system you got in there...

I agree and at least you had the ..... to show your modified ride. There is always lots of talk on the forum referencing modification but they seem to lack the pix.

Just know that if you post pics people will give opinions....they may not always be positive. Althought I don't care for what you have done, it helps me decide how I want to mod mine. Don't take things to personal on the boards.
