But hey it gives us something to talk about-been quite slow as of late here...

I will step in as oggle's rep and answer your question(he is feeling 'pink'): It is the MH Dezent one actually. It is sold through a few shops like evosport etc. Retail on it is 630 but organized group buys can possibly get it lower. It is NOT a hood conversion kit as that would be MORE cheddah.

Yeah what LorinserCClass said. It's the MH-Dezent (aka Expression) grille. We bought it as a Group Buy for $500 a piece + shipping (5+ people).

I could've sworn that he told me that he changed it again and is now sporting a 1 piece carbon fiber setup and will be ready to sell his original hood and the grill.

I would be interested if it was about 350 bucks or something. 600 dollars for a Grill is just absurd. It is damn nice though...

It'll be for $535 according to this thread...

https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...ight=group+buy

This is the nice Expression grille. $535 is still a premium, but it's be best.

There are cheap ones out there starting at $99. You can find that on autorice.com. I'd rather keep the stock one than the cheap sports grille...

Thats still too much for the cheap quality of that grill. If the quality was top notch I would buy one at that price.
