Some Quesions on GLS580 Mods
First id like to thank you guys as this is a very informative forum, helping each other out,
I'm finally settling on a new GLS580 i couldn't get the exact car i wanted and im desperate so id like to do some mods, if anyone can advise
i hate the sport steering wheel with a passion, would i be able to install any new style steering wheel from lets say an S class?
how about removing the side step can i just add a side skirt molding from a 450?
is there anyway to fit in a spare tire with the Higher end 3D sound system?
thank you!

2021 GLS 450 & 23 GLS 450. Have a Holden Commodore, Jeep, truck, and more
I would imagine removing the side step and installing the molding would be easy enough. I did the opposite on my 450 and it was pretty simple.

I gave up the V8 for a smoother less vibrating car.
Came with 23”s Already bought 21” OEMs will replace them after summer

At the end I found a Unicorn 2025 GLS450 with E-ABC which was the deal breaker with a sticker price over 136k

Strange, on the configurator, amg line is not even an option: https://www.mbusa.com/en/vehicles/bu...tegory=options

So I got curious again and played with the configurator: https://www.mbusa.com/en/vehicles/bu...tegory=options
I thought being the S-Class with amg line, it will still get the traditional wheel but no, amg line on the 450 does change the wheel to the amg style one, the standard amg line on the gls 580 does not change the wheel.

But for comfort I definitely prefer the microfiber.
And for performance, I like the little buttons below the spokes, which control multitudes of operations. I use my "I" button frequently. I wish there were two "I" buttons like BMW uses.

Visually, I think it also depends on the appearance of the switchgear.
