I had not thought of that! But knowing MB they probably want 10K for the set! I just replaced the drvier's front vent window and it was 1000 dollars for a 6x4 in piece of glass! Im also waiting for a set of winter of rims and tires.....almost 6K!!!! Too may "merry" expenses for now😁

No idea. But I do know it was $1200 including install on my Jag F-Type when I did that (actual factory trim replacement). My guess is EQS will be more but not a lot more. As reference I looked into the grille and the cost of the part on that was $755.

I would for two reasons:
1) It looks good. See the Lamborghini video I posted above.
2) The pain with black paint is micro scratches. It's so hard to keep looking good. That goes away with satin paint.

This is a good deal IF your installer is good. If you search through a bunch of the MB forums, you’ll see a lot of comments that it’s the installer that makes all the difference - particularly if you’re going to XPEL stealth wrap a glossy or metallic finish. If the corners aren’t tucked right or it’s a mediocre job, you’ll be unhappy with the appearance in due time - things like dirt buildup or lifting of the edges will be noticeable and probably drive you up the wall. Definitely worth scoping out some examples of their work before you drop the dough to fully wrap the EV.
