Side Trim

Has anyone purchased the available design side trim advertised on the MB accessories site? Just curious as to how it looks in reality

I haven't seen one in person, but personally, I don't care for the look.

Don't do it. Most people want to REDUCE the amount of plastic on the car not add more.

Maybe if they offered the side trim in the same color as the car it would be ok, but all this dark plastic trim especially on a light colored MB SUV looks cheap.

I've seen it on a GLE. Really unattractive in my opinion. The owner regretted getting it.

Absolutely the ugliest thing ever. It works on a Porsche Macan, just barely, but it does not work here.
