2022 Mercedes GLS X167 body kit review illustration from customer in Germany

Confidence in the Details

My name is Thomas, I’m from Germany. This Mercedes-Benz GLS 400d is my primary daily vehicle. Business meetings, trips across the country, family, long Autobahn drives — it has to be versatile. Comfortable, quiet, reliable.

I originally chose black. It always looks right. Strict, prestigious, without unnecessary noise. After a few months of ownership, however, I realized that in stock form the GLS looks a bit too neutral. Large and solid — yes. But visually somewhat “empty” in the lower section. That feeling is what led me to consider styling upgrades.

Why LARTE Design

Why LARTE Design
I wasn’t looking for radical solutions. It was important for me to preserve the factory aesthetics of the GLS 400d while adding a sense of completion. I studied LARTE Design projects carefully. What attracted me was how natural their elements look — without the impression that the car has been “reworked.”

We chose a full configuration painted in body color. No carbon, no contrast. Just form and proportions.

When Details Change Everything

When Details Change Everything
The black-painted elements worked exactly as I expected. The front now appears visually lower and more composed. The rear looks wider and more confident.

The GLS 400d has kept its restraint, but now there is more definition in its appearance. The car feels complete — as if the manufacturer had simply forgotten to add these elements at the factory.

The installation was carried out in Germany; I personally brought the car to the LARTE workshop. Everything was done quickly and without any issues.

Now, a few months later, my GLS 400d looks exactly the way a modern German business-class SUV should look. It doesn’t try to attract attention, yet it stands apart from the others wherever I am. For me, that is more than enough.
