I just finished wrapping my entire GLE. It’s more expensive then a front end wrap, but I think in long run it protects the car better from any road or other car door dings. I posted my pictures in the sticky thread above for 2020 GLE Owners Pictures. Check it out. Good Luck.

The nice thing about a wrap, is that you can try the latest trendy look, and when you get tired of it, you can remove it.

2020 GLE450
2020 GLE 450 owner here. Car is originally selenite gray with night package. Ended up wrapping it with 3M's Satin White. Blacked out the rest of the chrome (even with night package, there were still quite a bit of chrome remaining that just wasn't pleasant to look at lol). Added white ascents to the front grill, blacked out the hood emblem, and added a slight tint to the front Mercedes emblem to darken it up a bit (although, you can't really see it from the picture).

Not pictured but I also de-badged the car and removed the 'GLE 450' and '4MATIC' emblems for a cleaner look and also painted the Mercedes trunk lid emblem black. The exhaust pipes and the chrome piece on the trunk below the emblem were also blacked out. Turned out amazing and a lot better than I expected. I may change it up again this year.

Thanks. Wanted to change it up a bit and was getting tired of the selenite grey (don't get me wrong, this is a great color option). My windows were tinted fairly dark and wanted to go after that stormtroopers black/white appearance. Checked out some of the vinyl wrap options and settled on satin white, since I'm not a bit fan of the glossy factory paint look. I think originally I was going to go for a satin black wrap but settled on white. Plus, the wrap protects the original paint as well so it's an added bonus. While being white, you'd be surprised at how many people have stopped to look at it, or even asked me about it, since the satin white finish is what gives it a whole new look, as opposed to factory gloss polar white.
