The Body Shell is made in the US by a Co located on site at Vance. Can’t recall the name.
Some trim pieces are made in the US but a lot are probably from China.
Then there might be knock offs/back door sales from the PRC. The OEM running boards (2019-2020) were made in China but they were also being sold on Amazon without the lighting or instructions and came with the optional roof rack cross bars. I bought a set & returned them, reporting them as illegal…Amazon would not post my review.
The Diffuser you listed are likely OEM parts from the factory contracted with Mercedes. It’s highly unlikely that someone made a legitimate item that is complicated and has a low take rate. Probably illegal but hard to police.
