Let me know.

As far as it goes right now, I think I am going to sell it.

First I need to know how to remove it. Any ideas or guides you know of?

Thanks for the input guys

Just to see how it looks.

I am not digging the side steps in the picture, but I think its just the picture.

I think the steps work with the chrome bull bar, chrome grille, chrome wheels and polished roof rails.

I really cant picture where this goes or what it looks like on the ML.

I was thinking I could put of of those rectangular square things on... dont know what they are called but it makes the bottom of the trunk flush with the bumper. I think that is how the 02+ rear trunks are. I guess this plus the popular chrome trunk handle will be enough to update and blend the rear end with the rest of the vehicle.

How much do you want for it?

[TheGodfather]

Depends on how much it is from the dealer. I have yet to call and find out.

I believe it is around $1500 Canadian new.

What would you pay?

That is a W164 part. Goes under the rear bumper.
