I am really eager to do this, there is the chrome on the grill left, and painting of the chrome, which I am a little Leary about getting painted or powder coated, as it mite not match the color of the car exact. I would leave the Mercedes Star chrome, that just not right to black that thing out.. There is more chrome around the 2 fog lights... And then all the chrome trim around the 4 door. I removed the Chrome along the doors. Removed the chrome from the back. So all I have is the Door Trim, fog lights, and grill.

HAS ANYONE DONE THIS YET? I don’t want to be the test subject, but I guess I mite be. Any ideas on how I can make sure this comes out right. I have to have it, so talking me out of it doesn’t count

Thanks guys, you rock

^You BETTER keep us posted on that turbo kit... That will be my fav mod... Im getting excited just thinking about it. I plan on being the first person to paint the ENTIRE grill black, encluding the crome star. But knowing my luck some one has already done it?

Get the Brabus, or some other badgeless grille in black. If keeping the stock grille, leave the chrome parts as they are.

Turbocharging this car is a scary idea...unless you have virtually unlimited cashflow. I can't even begin to imagine how your dealership would laugh at you when you show up for service with a turbo kit on your car.

I did that stuff to my saturn but it was a saturn...if something broke in the engine of the Benz you would probably be better to just buy a new car.

I have seen a cls with a full black grill and it looks good

I installed a turbo charger to my G35 and I never had a problem, well my only problem was the 390 HP

It would be nice if someone would develop a kit for the W204. Even a Vortech supercharger kit would be cool. I'd like to see around 300hp. The hope of forced induction is one of the reasons I bought a 6 spd manual, an easier tranny to upgrade.

^300hp... that be fun

That won't be a laugh, it will be the sound of the engine warranty going through the shredder. I am not making this up.
