Well, here are some of my MH-Dezent grille (Same as Expression Grille). One is a pic Phil took while we were rollin' out from a meet. The other is up in the canyons near my house.
My thoughts exactly. The CL grille only looks good if you look at it straight on, but when you start looking at it from an angle the front starts bulging out. If it was the C55 w/ expression grille, now that would be a different story.

I've had the CL type on my car for over a year. I'm now leaning to switching it back to my OEM 3 slat grille. I agree with others now that the OEM is a cleaner look.

As much as I loved how the OEM grille looks, the main reason I'm keeping this grille is for the "theme" of my aero parts. I think at some point, I may move to a custom grille in the future.

Yeah MJ, I agree. I think the car looks better with the normal grille. The furtherest I'd do is update to the '05 grille, but as far as the CLK style grille... No, not a big fan of them.
In fact, if I had the CLK, I'd get the C55 grille!

Drex,
Well, I made the switch back to stock this past weekend. I actually like the flow of it with my rims & taillights. Now, I have to update my sig.
Yup, in your case, the star goes well with your theme.

Damn, Arnold. You too. Seems like I'm the lone wolf (although, I'm one of the few who had the grille color matched with a color that wasn't black/white).

I like stock over the CL-type on ebay.
The only CL grill I like is the MH Dezent one that Lorinser uses. I think Expression also uses the same one. It has a piece that is color matched to the car on the bottom.

Yup. Only one I liked also, that's why I got it (but obviously customized it with the color matching all over, instead of just the bottom piece).
