Thanks guys...
You can order the front and the rear bumper as a complete kit at your dealer and retrofit it to your ML. Only the front hood was a little tricky, as you need to have a VIN from a W164 that has that hood mounted from the factory. They don't sell it as a retrofit item.
About the pipes: Yea, these are the ML63 rear pipes. Just the pipes though, not the whole system.

No modifications needed (if you have a facelifted ML, i.e. from MY09 on). Parts are straight bolt-ons. The front bumper even comes with all the tiny stuff like screws, foglights, meshes etc.

Here's mine..it's a 2011 ML350,
https://mbworld.org/forums/m-class-w...011-ml350.html
I think the exhaust and AMG wheels would really dress up my stock ML...
What was the pricing on the rear bumper and exhaust tips?
For the tips do I keep mystock mufflers and these tips replace the stock tips? Another question, can I replace the stock tips myself or is there any cutting and welding needed? (Too lazy to go in the garage and look under the SUV myself)

Nice ML. The AMG bumpers look great on white MLs... You should consider a front _and_ back end conversion...
I paid 1,200 EUR for the rear bumper and the lower chrome insert. But I guess you cannot simply convert that price into USD, as the whole pricing is really different in the US.
About the tips: Yea, you keep your stock mufflers, but remove the stock tips and swap them with the quad tips. No welding needed. Look at the pic... it's pretty self-explanatory. Tips are another 900 EUR. But again... do not just convert the price, but ask about the USD price at your dealer.
You probably can also pick up everything you need via ebay.

Yea, it's pretty expensive..., but it looks great. So, who cares?
You cannot wear the quad tips with your stock rear bumper... You'll need the AMG rear thing with the AMG quad-tips chrome insert.
Good luck!

I'm new to the MB world, any sites or dealers give better prices for these AMG parts?
Yes part numbers for these would be great! Tax refunds are just around the corner!!!
VROOOOOOOOOOOOM! VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Rear bumper (with Parktronic!) is: B66036496
The quad tips are: B66030870
You will also need the chrome insert with the cut-outs for the quad-tips. Unfortunately I don't have the parts number for that, as it was researched by my dealer. This is also true for the front hood, which appeared to be extremely difficult to get.
Unfortunately, yes. I put in some LED bulbs into my foglights and use them as (manually turned on) DRLs now. Looks great IMO, but isn't 100% street legal (at least here in Germany).

Car looks great but... there's a set of original 63 AMG black headlights for sale on ebay in Germany as I saw, if you are interested (Not mine, I don't even know the seller). Maybe you will change your mind on the overfenders too . And for the "grand finalli" you could add a set of new LED MOPF mirrors, and you'll have the coolest ride

About my ride: Nah, I'm not going to change anything else. No wide plastic fenders for me, no 21" wheels... and I'm also not a fan of the blacked out headlights.
To me, my ride is just perfect the way it sits there right now.

W164 ML500,SMART For two,1994 C280(5speed manual) 1999 C230k station wagon
I think 20,s are more than enough for the W164, I am looking for a set of 20,s at the moment, what I really like on your ML is the hood.

Thanks. I agree..., and it looks even better in reality, than on the pics. It's not only the power domes, but the whole hood is higher than the standard thing, which massively adds to the ML's presence IMO.
