2009 ML550 pictures

We did some small subtle changes on this vehicle that we thought we should share with you.

The vehicle received some 22" Mandrus wheels wrapped with some Toyo rubber. To help fill the wheel wells we added some H&R lowering springs. To further highlight the truck we painted the upper grill matte black to match the lower grills. We also tinted the front headlights, rear tail lights and front windows. We think there is some idea for everyone in this small build.

If you are looking to add some style and personalization to your ML hopefully you can get some ideas from this. We do not use actual tint on the lights, that is actually sprayed on tint with clear. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you achieve the look you are looking for in your ML.















The wheels that you see in the pictures are for sale, the customer had a flat and decided that she wants to use 20" wheels instead, the wheels have less than 50 miles on them and the flat tire was replaced with another new tire.

I dig the tinting. In Australia we can't have any tint on the side front windows, so looking side on at a car you get a dark rear seat window and a clear front seat window. This sort of spoils the affect.

Thanks for the pics.
