I am jealous that the c sedans have so many grills to choose from...

why do you guys think the coupes have no aftermarket grills except the starless one?

I think the coupes would look great with a big fat mb star grill. The star is too small on them.

I wonder if someone could make one?

I was debating on getting CL grill 1 as well but I cant decide on silver or black. Seen it on ebay a while back and I like it better than any other grills I've seen.

The grill looks pretty nice with 3 slats and no frame.

Please post some pics once you have it installed.

Looks bulky to me, but may look better on the car. I wish someone would make one like Shake's without the star in the center. That's the one I have on mine and I'm tired of the big star but don't want to go back to stock either.

I'd like to see a photo of that installed too. I was close to getting that one, but found a deal on the 4 slat one and figured i'd go for that instead.
