Spray paint works wonders... second thing i did today was when i was driving last night, i noticed that the blue coming from my 12v splitter was blue, and i must say it looked nice. so i bought two blue colored tubes and put one under the glove box and the other under the steering wheel above the pedals. i taped it down just for now... its hawt. :bowdown: :thumbsup:

ambient lighting is cool...neon not so much... take that out, and get yourself some non autozone fogs... Car looks good otherwise

Grille looks cool....But, did you use packing tape to secure the interior lights?! Try some small pieces of velcro or double sided tape, it will hide the install better and won't rip your console when you want to remove lights...I agree with 55fan,..neon is not the way to go. PIAA fogs are better looking IMO....

Interesting. I was actually planning to paint my grill all black. so the only part will stand out is the headlights. since my ML55 is black. so somewhat opposite from what you have.

oh man... did you order this stuff off ebay? dont put on the chrome headlight trim... thats just me... I also have installed HID's into my fogs... I agree with the PIAA fogs or driving lights mounted to the bull bar, that looks bad ***.

the chrome parts that are from ebay are kinda cheap in quality and will last you maybe a year... that rear trunk molding looks like crap soon, that is if it doesnt fall off first... just order the real chrome piece from the dealer

post photos when you get the chrome door handles on. I am curious on how it will look, also where did you get the mud guards from and can you post closer photos please. thanks
