Tailgate chrome strip
Hi,

GLC is missing the chrome strip on the tailgate like their bigger brother GLE, GLS and sedan. I think they look nice with it than without. The chrome strip wrap around the top of the tail light.I am looking to add chrome strip on the tailgate and need your opinion. There are two choices - OEM and aftermarket. Which one do you like more? Please explain your reasoning below. I personally like the aftermarket more just because the OEM one looks incomplete.

GLE Coupe



GLS



GLC OEM chrome trim








GCL aftermarket chrome trim

Yeah, it looks good. OEM looks slightly better on the wagon, while the aftermarket (the GLE type) would probably better on something like a coupe.
