ML
I've seen the first pic before but not the following pics. It looks quite nice. The only problem I have is that the wheels seem to be tucked in too far - a la Ford Xplorer Eddir Bauer!!!! The other problem is that unfortunately, I'm sure Lorinser is not asking pennies for this.

Hey that's my ML!!

hehe...Darkmann, The wheels are tucked in right now. I had the 20" Lorinser RS3 rims and I used the Lorinser spacers to fill out the wide body flairs. I tried to use the same spacers but the hub in the new Oz Racing wheel was too small. I just ordered custom made spacers and I will post pics when they are installed.

That is a nice ML, But the FAKE Gucci trim totally destroyed it

No offense but In my opinion the fake gucci door trim really destroyed your setup. I know you mentioned that they were real from but up bags, however, I find that hard to believe that there are bags that big without running into stitches.

And to confirm this, I know exactly where to get Fake Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Burberry textiles and fake leathers. My uncle in the Philippines and Hong Kong owns a factory that makes replica bags and textiles. The one you have on your door looks exactly like his design. We also noticed that the one the trim you have the GG on the guccis are too far apart as opposed to the authentic design. So I dont mean to press it in, but your door has "Swap Meet Gucci". I just really think that you destroyed the image and class of your ML, otherwise very good setup.

By the way, I have Burberry trunk trim in my brother's car show Lexus GS430. We was gonna go Gucci but we figure there would be a lot of people in the Ghettos that may have them in their Impalas and Caprice. And YES THEY DO!

Sorry Ml500bangbus, it's 100% genuine from Italy. I have an connection from Italy who supplied the fabric from the lugage pieces. The reason a few of the "G"s are far appart is because the fabric had to be streched so it would contour the lines and edges of the door panal. I spent a pretty penny to have this re-upolstered. So personally I do not think I destroyed the imiage of my car. It gave my car personality and uniqueness. I was the first to do this kind of re-upolstering, and now many have followed using fake material. At many car shows and competitions, many have commended me for my creativity. Thanks for the comments though.

Nice ML on the outside, the inside has too many TV Screens and the Gucci upholstery, not good for my taste, then again this ML is for shows, I bet it does well at shows.

Pocholin, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so thanks for your comments. Too many tv's? Maybe, but like I've said before, I started out with just four and I added the three in the rear for show/competition purposes. Believe it or not, there are many other vehicles out there with more tv's than me. It's all about competition. As for the Gucci, everyone has different tastes. Some people prefer expensive name brands and others prefer the generic brands. So I understand if some may not like the Gucci interior. My car does very well at the car shows/competitions. This was my first year of competition and I took home 25 trophy's.

Congratulations on the trophies, I wasn't trying to attack you in anyway, like you said everyone is entitled to their own opinion, that is why I said you ML is for shows.
