Trim Pics Before & After

I bought the head lamp, tail lamp & door handle trim and installed it this morning. Below are the before & after pics

Front Before


Front After


Rear Before


Rear After


Door handles before


Door handles after


Very easy to install everything. The door handles were probably the trickiest because you had to have the door handle pulled open in order to align the trim.

The tail lights dont look bad, but I think the chrome handle accents were the best part. Not a big fan of the headlight trim. But nice door handles!

I, honestly, wasn't a fan of the door handles, but that is where I got a lot of scratches on my GL from rings, etc. when opening the door!

I do like the trim -- it reminds me of the classic 1930's & 1940's cars that had trim around the head & tail lamps. Plus, I ride a Harley and I like chrome LOL!

You took the class out of your e-class LOL.

To each their own though. If you like it, that's all that matters.

That makes the car look ghetto, as in, "we've never owned a MB before, it's our first time, I'm gonna pimp this thing out." But, like the others said, to each their own.
