ML Body kits-- suggestions???
I have a 98 ML, green with the graphite colored front and rear bumper and rear wheel fender flares in that graphite too. It doesnt look all that nice, and all the pics Ive seen of other ML's that look good dont have that graphite fenders/rear fender flare combo (instead they just have the fenders and fender flares in the same color as the body). Is there any way I can get a fender flare kit for the rear or get a front and rear bumper matched to the green on my ML to repalce the graphite parts??

You have a couple options here. Im learning more because im doing this myself.
First you can paint all the graphite colored areas. Call up your Merc dealer and find out what body shop they have do their painting, or look around yourself.
Secondly...you can get a new model bumper that matches your color or have it painted, i did this i have a 99 and i put a 01 bumper on. The color was the same as my body color (black opal) so i lucked out, i bought the bumper on ebay for $200.00. I think i got a great deal, now i just have to throw the fog lights in (the 01 bumper has a cool grill and integrated fog lights) and ill be all set!
most of the body kits ive seen have been the ones that go over the existing bumper and not replace the old one i dont really like that
any questions or if you want to see some pics of my car before and after the bumper email me
