Mercedes-Benz G Class W463 1998-2018 Side Body Moldings
Finish: High-gloss as shipped · matte with 1 coat of clear matt spray before fitting.
Is the kit available in matte?
The kit ships high-gloss. For a satin or matte look, spray one thin coat of clear matt aerosol lacquer for cars on the parts before fitting (for example SprayMax Klarlack matt or NOVOL Clearcoat Matt), let it dry, then fit as usual. One coat takes the gloss off; a second gives a flatter but slightly hazy look. Try a small part first. We don’t ship aerosols; you’ll find them in car accessory shops.
The details on the outside are the first things you notice when you walk up to your vehicle.
The side body moldings follow the exterior application named in this listing. Check the product-specific layout and supplied contents before arranging installation.

Freshen up a dashboard marked by time
Many cars of that era came with wood inserts, or at least looked as if they should have. For Mercedes-Benz G GLK GL Class, a wood effect such as Walnut Burl or Newport Burl brings that late-nineties feel back. Printed decor under a clear dome, a decorative effect rather than solid wood, with an honest glossy depth.
- No drilling, no cutting
- Original trim stays in place underneath
- Sticks onto existing surfaces
Check the year and equipment, then choose your finish.
Checking an older car before ordering
- Older cars have often been modified: compare the parts diagram with what is actually in front of you.
- Check the radio, the climate control and the gearbox, which may have been changed over the years.
- If in doubt, send a photo of the dashboard through the contact form before production starts.
