Frank,

New grill looked great. Vacuum bagged process means the grill is very light yet strong.

FrankW versus Diamond Bar Fires

Everyone give it up to Frank, he's been battling it out with the damn socal fires since this morning - just talked to the guy and his housing community had been evacuated. Not sure how things are going right now, but damn I hope this MB fanatic has the stable to come home to.

Best wishes and prayers bro, glad you came to the meet with that sick grille!

K1 model god i love her...hahahahahah really down to earth

as for the wild fire thing...I'm finally back home after almost a 30hr evacuation order from 8am sunday morning to 4pm monday afternoon. thanks to all my home boys and girls who texted me and called.

I'm glad the wind had died down sunday so that the firefighters who are hard at work can do their jobs.


I came home to overlooking at this towards Chino Hills on Saturday night around 8.


and then that turned into this around 10pm.

zoomed in

Scary pictures, Frank. I’m sure you won’t ever forget that sight.

Some friends lost their home in Yorba Linda. Sad, but thankfully no one was hurt.

Grill looks sharp! Gettin' in early on the W204 market. Haven’t I seen those pics with your watermark on eBay?

john, did you have friends in the area of yorba linda? definitely thankful that no one was hurt.

did you really see the pic on ebay? I only sent K1 those pictures. I sure hope they aren't put on some random ebay page.

my heat exchanger's been sitting around btw...sigh...lol...just haven't got time to ring you up for one afternoon.

Their house is nothing but ashes. Just imagine losing everything; keepsakes, pictures, everything they worked so hard to earn.
They’ll rebuild and start anew. Glad you're okay.

Nah, just teasing about Ebay. Wasn’t too long ago when a vendor around here borrowed a pic of your car for their grill!

Ready when you are on the heat exchanger installation…

LOL...the white C350's mine. bought the grille from K1 motorsport. I think they'll release the pricing this weekend. They used my car for proto-type and all the testing for the part.

So this is made by fibre right? Let me know the price... will surely would like to get one.

P.S. what is the requirement? or it come with the rubber fitment which is come out from the sport grille?

Thanks bro...

So they already have these made and on hand? I should be able to swing over and take a look at it in person right? Or should I be contacting K1 about that..
