What is the lower side piece insert on the face life 14 models?

I see mostly e63s have them. Nice little subtle piece that extends from front to back of car. Grayish?
Thanks guys

E63 S-Model (excluding night package) rocker panel inserts. Wagon part #s are A 212 698 01 62 and A 212 698 02 62. I assume the sedan is the same but not positive.

I've ordered them for my E350 Wagon and will test fit soon.

Apparently they won't be here until June 30th!! I'm trying to be patient...

It should look like this:


Only not quite as hot as the 63 obvi.

They come on the night package also, they are just painted black.

Yes, it's a different part # for the black night package inserts. Hence my clarification in my original post.

Got them earlier than expected, I love the look! I think they tie in nicely with the beltline trim and the wheels.





They come with double-sided tape and molded clips, however, the clips won't work unless you also replace the rockers. I removed the clips and added extra double-sided tape.

Are these chrome or more of a matte grey? They look nice on a dark colored car.

Yeah those look really nice indeed - I am thinking of getting them for my car. How much did they end up costing?

Around $600 for the pair. They are satin chrome, the same color as the beltline moldings.

My side beltline moldings and door handle tops are chrome. I would think they should match the front chrome lip too.

How do they mount? Just double sided tape?

Nevermind. I just read your post. They look awesome. I might get them too.

Perhaps a good alternative is to have a vinyl wrap shop do that.

That was my original plan, but to be honest, the rocker panels look "right" now. With the indent, it always looked to me like there was something missing. I didn't feel that vinyl would give the finished look I sought.
