Where is the chrome?
Hi guys I was wondering how come on some GLs I see on the internet there is a piece of extra chrome protecting the rear bumper from damage from loading and unloading the rear cargo area. The GLs I see at the dealerships they dont have this metal piece but instead its a black plastic piece? Is there a package you can order that will get you that extra chrome? I know the 550 comes with it. Here is a video with one GL 320 that has it.

My '07 (January build) came with nothing on the rear bumper & I added the chrome piece. You can order it from your dealer. Later '07 models & '08 models come with the black plastic piece.

I have an 08 320 with the 19 wheel pkg that adds the front and rear stainless steel skid plates and still comes with the black rubber piece on top of rear bumper. I recall seeing a thread a fe wweeks ago with detailedd instructions on how to install the chrome/steel protector.

I wonder if that first one of the GL with a wheel in the air, if that has the ORP. It sounds like a 320 - do they come with ORP overseas, I wonder?
