W163 (Benz-ML320) Upgrade

my mom's 98 ml320 will be getting a fresh paint, led tails, projector headlights, chrome handle covers, amg grille, and a chrome trunk bar (Ebay) for her b day present.. but i was also looking into getting a kit for her as well..i found this on ebay and it looks like the quality of their kits are good but i noticed the kit they have for the ml was a wald knockoff... what do you guys think? just wanna clean up her car and make her happy. no suspension or crazy wheels right now, maybe find some clean stock amg wheels in the future.

im hoping it would come out looking like this.. its the same silver paint job too. the grille has too much chrome so i might custom paint the inner grille fins to black and leave the edge chrome.

looks cool!
really does not matter weather its a knockoff or not. i would only care if it is quality or not and as you said, it appears to be so

i really like that brabus kit you posted but from looking at the body lines and front headlights, that is the W164 newer ml class.. I doubt they would fit the older body style

yea the kit looks dope but I don't think mama is gonna have air suspension and rims anytime soon so just the cosmetic upgrades is gonna have to do. anybody know some good stock amg wheels that would look good on the ml's?
