Favorite after market thingies that are a "must have"?

Hi all,

I am curious if anyone has any aftermarket things they have added to their GLE 350 that they can't live without. I tried to add a cup holder extender (so you could have more cup holders -the passenger has two beverages and the driver has one -COMPLETE FIRST WORLD PROBLEM) and I haven't found one that fits yet. I would love to add the LED light-up logo as well, but find it a bit expensive, and a bit tedious for me to do it myself. The biggest issue with that is that it doesn't make life better or more comfortable while driving, and I will never see it!!!! This leads me to wonder if anyone has added anything to their vehicle to improve life while driving.

There is a accessories thread here somewhere. Do a search and you will find it. For me the cheapest alibaba add on that really made a big impact for my OCD is the vent cover below the front seats and the center console tray insert. Majority of the add-ons are cosmetic but if you will try to add anything on the exterior like spoilers and trims make sure to go OEM.

I agree with you about the OEM for anything exterior. I am that way as well!

If you have a GLE without a night package consider changing the silver grille into a black grille makes a huge difference at the front. Also I think the facelift grille will fit on the pre-facelift as the bumper shape did not really change (not 100% sure).

Instead of paying exorbitant amounts for wheel insurance, maybe a set of these.

I use this for sanitizer and hand lotion. It would work for some drink bottles just fine or maybe you can find something similar but not a soft wall like mine.

I love my tuxmat all weather floor mats and weathertech cargo mat. I bought some emblem badges and stickers just to make it look more OEM.

Speaking of curb feelers, your post reminded me of this video I came across earlier (timestamp 9:53)
Same youtube channel, they talked about another gadget called the autoparker, for parallel parking (timestamp 9:27)
