the first one, looks FAKE and UGLY.

the second one is better than the first... (relatively speaking).

but I've seen much nicer ones elsewhere. eBay is just not the place for these things. Granted, their cheap. But not pretty !

In my opinion, they're both pretty ugly !

try AUTOWERKS DIRECT, EVOSPORT, or some of the Performance Products, ForMyMercedes grills. Those seem a bit nicer and pricier.

You get what you pay for !

You'll also get all kinds of opinions, enough to ask yourself why the hell do you want a new grill, but don't give up.

Evey once in a while you'll get comments that don't help, but don't get discouraged, keep reading and learning.

In this forum, 95% of the posts are to help you. I know because many of these guys have helped me and I've learned enough to be dangerous, so go read and when you get a post that isn't important, just skip it and look for the helpful ones.

Welcome to the forums !
