Too bad it's not a rear bumper. Those are easy to come by in the aftermarket. Don't know about the fronts. The plastic on these seems to be really brittle and just a tap will cause them to shatter. At least that's been my experience with the rear bumpers. -D

Now that I have this 07 ML and can compare it side by side to the 08 GL, the ML really is quite a bit smaller than the GL.  I always thought it was just a shorter GL, but its smaller all the way around in general.  It is more like a E class SUV and the GL is a big S class SUV.
