The flat badge looks really good. The grille, I'm neutral on - either one looks fine to me. However, the "AMG" on the diffuser, well, I'm not a big fan. The funny thing is that, to me, it probably gives the opposite effect of what you want - makes me think it's not really an AMG, and that you're putting it on to fool people. But if you like it, that's what's important.

Not a fan of the "grille within a frame" look.

For the level that your car is at (perfection), my input is likely uneeded. I think the bottom of the Gill needs to be expanded to cover the Gap at the corners. Gives the car a gapped smile.

The AMG on the front spoiler works for me.

hmmm i could just be impressed with the custom work

im still trying to figure out how it was made...
did he take the guts of the new ebay design grille
and put it in the stock grille?
or does the ebay grille come like that and he just painted the edges?

there is only one badge on my car that states AMG... for the most part the my car is badge less. that badge is only there for parked pic. its not seen when some one pulls next to the car, so my car keeps the full sleeper out look.

I'm installing my AMG bumper and was going to be looking for a front lip. Where did you get yours? Looks nice by the way.

The grille looks nice I like the custom look and the 3 slabs instead of the 4. I just got the normal CL grille and I hope it looks half as nice as yours
