Update....New GL450

Well... after 2 weeks of running here and there , she runs beautifully, no issues, ... its tighter, quieter, and even more refined than my 07 was at new! Was not sure about the Obsidian Black, BUT it really is unique! Beautiful in the sun! I couldn't help myself.... had to add the chrome pillar posts.... a bit more bling than I am inclined to do BUT... it really does set this vehicle off as an "impressive beast!"

I think it looks great as well. I too added some bling to my OB beast with chrome door handle inserts and chrome hood fins, and the wide chrome roof bars.

Nothing like Obsidian Black and just the right amount of Bling to set your GL apart.

Very nice. i am thinking of adding the chrome fins and door handle inserts to my '08. anyone know if i can retrofit the black scuff plates that are above the rear bumper? they went standard from the 09 year i think.

What size wheels? I have the 20" wheel option and my profile looks a bit thinner than yours.

CONGRATS!!!! Enjoy in good health as the wise man says.

Those Chrome pillar posts do add that bling.
