What are the MUST have accessories for the x167???

I have a ‘20 GLS450 that’s been a reliable daily for the last few years. I have some cosmetic mods (fully blacked out trim), wheels and a few accessories for the interior.

my favorite being:
  • all weather mats (just got back from the snow and though the car was thrashed, the mats were so easy to clean)
  • tray table for rear passenger (works perfect for a toddler to fidget w their toys)
  • Tray table for inside the middle compartment

During the week, she’s the company hauler, transporting boxes from place to place. On the weekends, she’s the baby hauler for fam adventures.

What other accessories or mods have made your GLS that much better? Would love to see what goodies everyone else has got.

Wireless CarPlay or Android Auto dongle is a great accessory, there are several iterations of these but just make sure to get one with USB C pigtail so you don't have to use an adapter:

2-in-1 Wireless CarPlay Android Auto car Adapter, Convert Wired CarPlay to CarPlay Wireless, Switch Between iOS and Android System Phones at will, Suitable for iOS 10+ and Android Cars https://a.co/d/1kYk9XI

GLS 450 / G55 AMG
Official
  • Mudfaps (167-890-34-00)
  • Trunk Tub (167-814-03-00-28)
  • Animated Door Light Projectors (167-820-31-03) replaces regular courtesy lights, not the mirror projectors.
Third-Party
  • Turbo VTA Adapter - Allows you to hear the turbo blow off if you're a car nut (me included). Stock just dumps the air back into the intake solely to quiet it down; venting to the atmosphere has no negative performance effect. Doesn't state compatibility on their site but I already reached out to confirm it fits.
  • Smoked-Out Rear taillights
  • Engine Start / ECO Button Cover - Probably my favorite single accessory; keeps the text from fading as it notoriously does or hides it if it's already there.
  • Center Touchpad Protector - Silicone and doesn't affect the touch functions. My touchpad was started to get creases along the edges and this covered those up.
  • Additional Ambient Lights - Specifically, the skylight and rear seat illumination (best prices I found for these 2 items). I think the rest is a bit overkill, but the car definitely looks more "fun" with the 2 mentioned. Plugs into original harnesses so all colors match what is set in MBUX.

I’m using the table sold through MB dealers. Plugs into the spot in the back of the front seats. Will take photos, though I think my kid uses it more his kick pad/foot rest

thanks, they are a set of 20” HRE 305’s (x 9.5 all around) in flat black w polished black lips. Have them wrapped in Nitto Ridgegrapplers 275/55/20 (same size I saw some G wagens rocking on mbworld) and happened to fit perfectly on the gls
