Anyone have the chrome hood vent trim?

Contemplating if these ( http://www.bekkers.com/Merchant2/mer...Category_Code= ) would look good on my arctic white ML....

I'm afraid its going to look a little ghetto, I just need other's opinions.

Since the vehicle is white, and its has chrome accents, I believe it will look alright.

Any input will help!

I'm assuming the link I posted is the cheapest you can find them... The first place I saw them at they were selling for $170. Forget that.

Yeah I thought about trying to get the silver ones from the SL, but no go on that, nice to see someone is making them but hell I wouldn't pay 60 bucks for a couple pieces of plastic to stick on my car. Maybe half price at 30 and it would be a go, but they do look great on there.

I have them on my white ML320CDI and it is perhaps one of the most complimented part of my vehicle, even from non-MB folks! I might point out that the SL55AMG and SLK55AMG both have them as well.

I bought them from this place for about $40

Ghetto

Ghetto, no doubt about it. I would pay $60 to have them removed.

I was skeptical at first, but now that they are on, they look great!

Especially on a white ML, it doesn't look like "too much"

It looks factory and I am very happy with them, and @ $48 shipped, you cant go wrong.

Just the topic of this thread made me think "GHETTO!!", but after looking at them, I think since it is just a few chrome strips, they may compliment the chrome door protector strips running along the side of the vehicle.

Not feeling the chrome surrounds on the lights, but that is just my opinion.

Looks awesome jerseytuffguy! Now that the formymercedes site has them for $39 I would put them on an ML in a heartbeat. Going to hold off on putting them on mine, thinking of trading it in the first of the year for either an R or another ML.
