just got it done.

some quick pics. after putting the grille in I realize my hood is mis-aligned the entire hood is about 1-2mm to the driver side. had to drop the hood from my chest height instead of my waist height to close it properly too. dropping the hood from waist height only secure the driverside.

Any other opinions on the quality? Anyone unhappy with the plastic? I am on standby.

the plastic used on the grille is harder plastic compare to the softer material. don't really have a complain because I never expect this to be exactly like oem.

anyone got a before and after pic?

i added a before pic to my post above.

your ride looks fantastic!!
can't wait till I get home

The fitment is perfect in every way.









This one piece C63 grille has less gap on the top compare to my neighbor's luxury grille!





Pround to be the first in Northern California to has this grille!

That's strange...I sent the BEFORE and AFTER photos to like 15 of my non mercedes owning friends...and most all of them chose the stock grille. They said the bottom looks like an acura...and not as chromy....

Hello,

I sell original new C63 grill's for 240€ without shippingcosts. It are original packed parts. I work for a official Mercedes-Benz dealer in Belgium. Grill's are at our dealer in 2 days after ordering. You can count one week for shipping.

I've ordered my own grill. I've got it friday, and I will place pictures this weekend on the forum.

When you're interested, please let me know. It's a cheap way for original parts.

FANTASTIC article!! thank you very much!! man I can't wait to get it on my car!!

I'm so glad I got Palladium Silver!!

so I guess its just me then. will install on Friday night!

it's not chromy? the grille has more chrome than the standard.
To me the C63 style grille has both aggressive style while keeping its pristine luxury. its elegant and not economical, IMO the cleanest way to modify the front end. besides the SL's have had that profile for generations its a traditional design.

ya i agree... on silver body, the c63 style looks kinda weak and a little too chromy... not bad, but the two toneness of the stock grill looks better for some reason and more agressive....

must be because you need the c63 hood to get the full effect...

Wow, the grilles looks great installed! The quality and fit looks very nice.

I'm still on the fence on this as I have a Iridium Silver and I really like how the silver on my stock grill matches the paint.
I'm still really curious how the the C63 grill looks with the silver mesh.

C63 in silver?

I think I'm going to need that grille. The mesh insert is really killing me
Can it still be ordered?

I know some of you want to get that grille, but if there are no enough orders I can't get discount. Let's see how many people want this, just put your name down.

need the same hood and headlights,....

just grill alone does not look better i think

I'd take it you won't get one

if you get the silver mesh C63 grille, I have a feeling its gonna look pretty close to stock

I may have to get this. It makes the front end look flatter. I like it!

I'm in..
