The picture in the brochure doesn't look too bad, but your pics tell a different story...yuck! I only find them useful to climbing on to wash the roof (or access skis, etc if you use that equipment). They also tend to get pantlegs dirty on entry/exit. The ML doens't sit high enough to warrant using them.

Re: Side step bar
I don't care for them or the OEM front bumper guard. The steps don't seem necessary except, as ffejalink says, to reach the roof, but I just stand on the open door sill to do that. These add-ons clutter up a fairly clean design.

So, how much are they? If from dealer, how much did you pay for? If after market, where and how much? How hard to install myself?
Thanks, excited to get the SUV!
