Door pins
Anyone know where to get a set of door pins that will fit and look good in the 2016 GLE?
$200 for 4 from the dealer seems kinda steep, and the AMG pins are a little off (considering my ride is the 300d, no AMG).

@davezaristo: Not terribly helpful - I mean, I've heard of eBay and I'd previously even written a couple sellers there to see if what they had would fit the GLE and the answer was no.
But more to the point, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a particular set of pins that look good and fit in the 2016 GLE. The silver OEM AMG ones look like they won't stylistically match well.

An actual link to an actual item on eBay would've been helpful, but otherwise just saying "check eBay" is a little like saying "look online"..
Anyhow, in case anyone else ends up on this thread I found them on www.mbwholesalepartsonline.com and they say they're the OEM parts, so I'll let you know once they arrive if not.

@davezaristo yeah, no worries, it's cool - I just felt like when I randomly searched eBay I was finding mediocre quality knock-offs more than anything else, and given that they're at least somewhat particular in terms of fit (a few seller's I emailed said theirs wouldn't fit this car) I was looking for a real place to start.
@variable229 - Not the AMG rims (those look cool, but ..) I meant the interior.
Turns out the OEM ones I got look pretty nice to me, but I screwed them on further than I should've so they go beneath flush. I think I just need to unscrew them back up a bit (someone on the other thread mentioned using a little Loctite even)
