C320 Coupe
Grille with no star (mattig grille), i find it clean and look nice. The coupe grille star not saying it's bad, but hte star is slightly too small IMO (CLK grille look amazing). Anyways, next week should be the day i pick up my Black Chrome Mattig Grille, let's see what happen by then, cuz im going to put on my summer gear on my car soon! I hate to see the winter version of my car lol

No BOSE = No Fiber Optic

I thought if you had the CD Changer, you have fiber optic. Actually, I heard that all mercedes in general have fiber optic.

The grill is 100 bucks...
yer saying 200 to paint it?
Huh?
Thats an easy diy, sand, paint primer, color, clear, rubbing compound, polishing compound done. And thats probably overkill.

This place http://www.sanleandrocolor.com/ and probably others will mix paint, from your color code, and put it in a spray can for 20 bucks.
And they ship.

paint it all black but leave the star silver.... then temporarily use black tape to tape the star black and test it out.
