grille

It's hard to see behind the graphic but it looks kind of low rent to me. It looks plastic and there's no star.

I think the C 230 K needs some chrome on it to give it some extra flash, and I also think the stock grille is perfect for that. If you prefer black, get some vinyl tape and save $400...

Ummm Mark Cummins helped design the grill I believe.

I have seen it in person and it is BAD A$$. It is real carbon fiber.

Some people like the subtle look and that big star in the middle of the OEM girll might be too much.

IMHO i think having the Star on the grille makes it look a whole lot better. to bad they did not make the CF grille with a silver star.
