Very nice! The sport pedals -- are they just "covers" or do they fully replace the pedals that are there? Is this a big job? DIY? If not, how much did it cost?
I really like the LED logo lights -- where did you get those? How much did they cost?
What did you do with the front bumper flap spoiler -- what exactly is that? Is that underneath the car? Not sure I see that. Thanks!
1. LED logos was purchased from EBay for like $20/pack of 2 lights...
2. Sport pedals are just covers you wear on top of stock... a very simple 1-min DIY... can be done with your eyes closed Cost like $30 or theeabouts... also from bay of fleas
3. The front bumper flaps are a simple 3M glued add-on. Completely changes the front look. You can find this similar in W213 E53 (2019/2020 MY)... here is a close-up of these flaps. Cost $125 for the pair.

Very nice -- and thank you very much. I was absolutely looking to do the puddle lights and the sport pedals -- but I really like the bumper flaps. My car is black, but I really like the look. Very nice! Thanks again!
Not really “aftermarket” in the true sense, but I put on new wheels/tires from a previous year S-class, onto my E450. Looks perfect now.
The standard wheels/tires were 245/45/19 in a square setup, with 8” wide wheels.
The new setup is a staggered 245/45/19 on 8.5” wheels in the front, and 275/40/19 on 9.5” wheels in the rear. Perfect fitment, perfect offset on the wheels, and now the car feels a lot more planted. Looks really good too.
In fact, the 20” wheel option from Mercedes, on the E450 All-Terrain, has 245 in the front (8.5” wide wheels) and 275 in the rear (9.5” wide wheels), while in all of the 19” versions, they went to a skinnier rear tire (and skinnier wheel) setup….which has been fixed now !

Looks great Jim! Those wheels are beautiful. I've seen those accent fins that attach to the front bumper under the headlights and thought the looked really cool. I looked closer at my car and notice that they aren't actually open intakes for anything. Just there for visual purposes i guess. Given any thought to opening them up and routing them to the brakes or anything like that?
Also, where the mudflaps part of the Maxton side skirts?
Thanks! The mudflaps are from eBay. They're cut to fit around the Maxton skirts. Yes, Ive thought about opening the grill up, maybe to an intercooler, especially if I upgrade the turbos.
I’ve got the night package on my wagon, but still had some chrome I’ve blacked out (grill surround and trim line across the back). I’ve replaced the grill with an aftermarket AMG GT / pan-americana style grill, blacked out the radar / star, whited out the rear star, de-badged the hatch, tinted the windows and sunroof, added Xpel paint protection film to the most likely rock chip areas, and IGL Kenzo ceramic coated.
what product was used for the blackout on the front grille molding? i hate the chrome around mine
