Chris you have inspired me to get rid of the huge chrome dog bone on the butt of my GLS. I don't have the night package.

Yours looks awesome!

I'm very picky and I inspected it thoroughly before leaving the shop to make sure the trim pieces were all aligned properly and the tips were all equal. What you are seeing is either a shadow as Ron mentioned or a perceived gap from the camera angle. They are aligned perfectly when viewed in person.

Thank you ! Lol, it's funny you say that because when I went looking for the GLE, I initially hated the look of the night package and preferred the chrome trim. My dealer talked me into it saying it's the new thing and he had one incoming that had all the features I wanted but it had the night package. I took his advice and it has really grown on me. When I see one with all the chrome now I much prefer the blacked out look.

Are the pedals from the AMG interior easy to add to my 2021 GLE 450? I like the stainless look.

I can't tell you the procedure but my dealer swapped out the AMG interior pedals on my 2020 GLE 450, I believe it was very simple.

99% sure the part number is 000-290-05-00 [at least that's what I have in my notes when I requested it 1.5 years ago], you can find it online for $135 (+shipping).

Also see https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...rt-pedals.html , installation looks very simple.

They are not connected but look to be part of the rear diffuser on the 450 & 53.

One thing I've learned since I did the modification is that the GLE63 tips will also work with the same diffuser. There are adapter trim pieces that are included with the 53 version that are not needed if you use the 63 tips. I guess it will come down to personal preference (round tips vs squarish) and price...

I know for sure the parts list I posted works on a 2020 GLE450 with the trailer hitch. It is however, the night package version. I do not have the guaranteed part numbers for the non night package option.

I have a 2020 GLE 450 with the hitch and these are the part numbers they installed. They ordered the wrong one initially that did not have the cutout for the hitch. I believe its the same part used on the 63, they just don't need the filler part for around the tips.

Stealth hitch and stealth radar detector

Had little bit of fun adding few more things to the 450.
Stealth hitch and Escort MAX Ci 360 radar and my favorite FU light for those people that like driving with high beams on.

Nice add-on hitch - looks solid. I skipped the oem one, but this is a neat option if I change my mind.

Very nice, thanks for sharing the pics.

Is that a "wrap" on your vehicle?

Yes. It is xpel stealth paint protection film. I love the brilliant blue metallic in matte finish, but since it's not available for the GLE I had it wrapped, plus it added a good protection for the paint.
