All stored away for winter! Planning on picking up a lowering module in the offseason. Also going to go gloss black on the wheels with silver lip. Any recommendations for caliper color? (Might just go with the same orange pearl metallic that the car is finished in).

What did you do about the yellowing on the CF engine cover? Did it look good enough in person to leave it as it did kind of match the car color when I saw the pics at Phillips Auto. I believe you said if you weren't happy with it you'd replace it with the standard one.
As an interesting aside my 2022 GLE 63 with 10K miles started doing it as you can see in the pic. I got it replaced under warranty and they even gave me the old one back. Going to hang it up somewhere in my office. It's definitely the heat from the turbos causing the yellowing of the resin. Seems like it's pretty common at this point. Hopefully the newer ones have been corrected but then again my car isn't that old. I also don't drive it hard and get it really hot and then just turn it off.

Hey again! Sorry to hear that yours was falling victim to the heat and yellowing, but i'm glad you were able to get it covered under warranty! It should make for some cool wall art. Mine doesn't look that bad in person, it kind of goes with the orange. However, I did end up finding a brand new oem carbon fiber piece on eBay a few months back. So I have that one set aside for the next owner whenever I sell the car down the line.
As far as I know, this is the only car of these specific specs and now available for auction.
For almost anyone this can be a fun or cool car. For the right person, this can be a life changing purchase that can improve someone’s independence, make wheelchair-car transfers easier, and reduce physical strain over time. All while having arguably one of the coolest wheelchair accessible vehicles available!
Back to stock height, no spacers, 19” OEM winter setup with 265’s
Very clean and tidy. Mine showed up but are sitting at the dealership, with no snow in the forecast, I’m delaying. I’m curious: square setup? PA4s or 5s? Parts guy said I got 4s. Haven’t seen them yet.

Glad I protected my Wagon in October with front PPF and Lifetime Ceramic coating including my Black Wheels since didn't Spec CCBs. Drive across Texas and its road debris was uneventful weekend before last. Still have to Trek up to Reston Virginia and Long Island and be back in Athens GA area before Christmas thru the Rain. Apparently it doesn't snow in DC and NYC area anymore?
