More pics...for the GL450 changed the wheels to the 21 AMG (genuine)...changed the roof rail to chrome....changed the window sills to chrome....added the chrome rear bumper plate....havent added the fender flares yet...
For the c added the 19 CL amg wheels...these are replicas...however not a single complaint...

For both cars i expected the ride to suffer....the gl run 100% better than the 19 scorpions and much quieter....the c is smoother and slight more road noise but not much at all...extremely pleased

Can you tell me where you're getting the chrome windows sill at? They look very nice. Would like to do the same.

Thanks,

1646907380 Front Trim R
1646907480 Front Trim L
1646907080 Middle Window R
1646906980 Middle Window L
1646903280 Quarter Panel R
1646903180 Quarter Panel L

Make sure there isnt a backorder on the middle window sections...i had to wait an extra two weeks for the parts...this place is also cheaper than the dealer....and the parts come off easy...just pry from one end with a wrapped flat head screwdriver and dont pivot off the panels...they pull right out simple....wait til have new parts and look at each piece before removing...not all pieces attach identical....took me about 15 minutes to change all...good luck

how much did all the 550 upgrades cost? I am looking to buy a 550, but would upgrade a 450 if the price was right.

Where do you get the fender flares? I have a GL450, and would like to get the fender flares if they are mercedes parts. My local MB dealership's parts dept can't seem to find them.
