Anyone got any recommendation on a good set of Front guard and side step bar? Brand, price and Pictures? How is the OEM polish set?

Depends on whether you want the chrome or black. The chrome is more expensive, everywhere. For the front, I'll go with the OEM bull bar. I think it looks much better than any non-OEM bar. For side steps, a lot of people recommend the MANIK units. They're much less expensive. The black ones have a 3yr warranty, I believe, and the SS ones have lifetime - check to be sure. The OEM stuff is 4yr/50K and the side steps don't really look that good, in my opinion. I don't have any pics but I believe formymercedes.com and clair.com have some offerings. There are many more. Keep in mind that some of the step bars may become a problem if you later decide to install mudguards - front ones mostly.
