you need to add another $225 for painting. This brings total up to $~450 give or take. Add shipping and handling to that number. Then, add labor (if its not already included in the $225) for painting and removal of old hood and installation of new hood.

Re: For those that have 98-99 make sure that it will fit.........

your vehicle. The ML55 uses shocks to lift up the hood whereas the 98-99 just uses the metal stick to hold it up. Just check this with Drew or Chris who may know the answer.
Ken Yee has an FAQ on that <A HREF="http://www.keysolutions.com/M-Class.nsf" target=new>here</a>. Click on FAQ, then search for "Can the MY2000 hood gas struts be retrofitted to previous models? (Ken K. Yee 03/27/2000)"
Hope it helps.

Sorry for the late reply.... I don't know where you guys are getting your unpainted hoods I can get them for $650US.. after taxes.. Unless they're not OEM.. $400 is a good deal, don't let it pass by.. I don't have any pictures of the raw scoops but I can tell you that they are made from a company in my city who makes body kits for a living. He offered me them a while back, he uses a mold and can mass produce them but minimum order of 5.
