Before and after pics....Changed the horrible original knobs for these ones...Sooo much better.



Installed a new sport wheel with wood...Sooo nice feel to it.



Also added this AC panel..Looks much better than the old one wich I first changed since it was in farenheit at first.

I also have the same door pins in mine, at least they look the same. You really invested some cash in your ML. Some very nice upgrades indeed.

Wow, like a brother from a another mother. Doing almost the same stuff without the interior stuff and the rear bumper. I just got a hand me down 350 and getting ready to order all the stuff. Are the running boards, tail lights OEM? Unlike yours, I'm just doing oem skid plates for the front and rear. Can't wait to see the outcome. Forgot, I chose some Gl 22 inch replicas for the wheels.

So glad you like a thread about W164 as well. My other W211 and W221 projekts have alot more response so that says much I guess.

No they are aftermarket parts in OEM quality.

Chris,
Talk to me about the rear seat entertainment screens.
I would love to surprise my 7 year old with that.
