Thank you, I saw that thread and replied to it but never got an answer. The work on the white gl is exactly what I wanted.

Same here. Just went through the catalogue and there are too many small parts that appear to be involved but not sure about it. Let's see if I can comb through that. Just sold the GL550 and wanted to try the GL350 but hate the looks and have to go through the conversion

OK We had some issues with our new GL350 and ended up doing a dealer buy back. My GL550 Conversion parts will be up for sale since they were not installed but I cannot return them now
