X166 with x164 chrome crossbar

I was just driving home and saw a x166 gl450 with my x164 chrome crossbars.
I prefer the look of the chrome crossbars as they are more flush to the vehicle when compared to the other crossbars. The chrome ones also have less wind noise than the accessory crossbars.

from what I saw they seem to fit ; has anyone else put them on their vehicle?

Are you talking about your luggage rack?

When you say luggage rack it makes me think of a safari rack.

I'm talking about the oem x164 crossbars that go perpendicular to the length of the car.
The ones that go across the car on the roof in chrome and not the basic carrier bars from mercedes that jut out.




These ones. I saw these ones that I also have for my x164 on a x166 today in DC. Has Anyone on here tried this setup?

My side rails look like brushed aluminum. So if I ever decided that I needed to haul stuff on top of my truck, I'd likely go with what matches the side rails.
