Mercedes-Benz GLS 400 d (X167) — Tuning & Body Kit Guide (#29)
Few vehicles in the Mercedes-Benz lineup offer as much scope for personalization as the Mercedes-Benz GLS 400 d (X167). From aggressive body kits to subtle carbon fiber accents, the aftermarket catalog for this platform continues to grow as manufacturers develop new solutions.
This guide covers the most relevant aftermarket components currently available for the Mercedes-Benz GLS 400 d (X167), including body kits, carbon fiber upgrades, wheel options, and interior enhancements. Every product listed below is available for purchase through Hodoor with worldwide delivery — we ship to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and over 50 other countries.
The global tuning market for Mercedes-Benz vehicles has expanded significantly in recent years, with established European, Japanese, and American manufacturers producing components specifically engineered for each chassis code. This means Mercedes-Benz GLS 400 d (X167) owners can choose from parts that have been designed, tested, and verified for exact fitment — not universal components that require modification to fit.
Exterior Body Kits & Aerodynamic Components
Body kits represent the most dramatic visual modification available for the GLS 400 d (X167). The best kits balance aggressive aesthetics with functional aerodynamic improvements.
Complete Body Kits
A complete body kit typically includes replacement front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts, and rear diffuser — all designed to work together as a cohesive visual package. The best complete kits are engineered to factory tolerances, meaning panel gaps and shut lines closely match the original bodywork without requiring custom fabrication.

Individual Exterior Components
Not every GLS 400 d (X167) owner wants a full kit. Individual components let you customize specific areas of the exterior while keeping the rest of the car in factory condition. A front lip splitter or rear diffuser alone can significantly change the visual balance of the car at a fraction of the cost of a complete kit.

Exhaust Systems
Aftermarket exhaust systems for the GLS 400 d (X167) enhance the sound character while improving exhaust flow. Options range from cat-back replacements to full titanium systems with active valve control.
Interior Customization
Inside the GLS 400 d (X167), the aftermarket offers solutions for dashboard accents, steering wheel modifications, shift paddles, and seat trim upgrades.
Lighting Upgrades
Modern lighting upgrades for the GLS 400 d (X167) focus on smoked headlight and taillight lenses, dynamic LED turn signal modules, and interior ambient lighting conversions.
How to Choose the Right Modifications
Material quality matters significantly in the long term. Carbon fiber components from established manufacturers use pre-preg carbon with autoclave curing, resulting in a consistent weave pattern and long-lasting UV-resistant clear coat. Lower-cost alternatives may yellow or delaminate within months.
Installation quality is as important as component quality. Even the best body kit will look poor with visible panel gaps or misaligned edges. We recommend professional installation by a bodyshop experienced with Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Consider the daily-use requirements of your GLS 400 d (X167). If this is your primary vehicle, prioritize modifications that do not compromise ground clearance, visibility, or practicality. The best modifications enhance the car's character without creating problems for everyday use.

Caring for Your Modified GLS 400 d (X167)
After installing exterior modifications, proper maintenance extends the life and appearance of every component. Carbon fiber pieces should be waxed or ceramic-coated to protect the clear coat from UV degradation. Body kit panels painted to match factory colour require the same wash and paint correction schedule as the rest of the vehicle.
