Help me 'butch' up my GLK350
I've had a 2010 GLK350 for three years now and I am either going to sell it and buy something else or I need to customize it to make it to my liking.
I love the ride of the car and the acceleration when driven manually. But I am finding the appearance a little soccer mum'ish....
Ideally I would like to have bigger rims & tires but I have no idea where to start. I have gone to the Tirerack configurator but all the wheels look about the same as the current.
Is it possible to mount slightly larger tires that aren't as low profile? Can one get a lift kit?
I know it's not a Jeep or a FJ Cruiser, but I like that kind of look.
What else could I add on? I've seen 'roo bars but they are all chrome. I guess I could sandblast one and paint it black to match the body.
And then I thought about doing a matt black wrap...
Puzzled of Dallas.

It's a Mercedes, not a juvenile Jeep. As others have said, sell it and buy somethign else instead of molesting it if that's the look you're after.
