These guys sell a few different grills and they are pretty close to you over in North Hollywood so you can arrange for pick up (save a$) and see if you like it on the spot or return it. Since its so easy to replace the grill it can be done right there, if you dont like it return it.
Ive called them and probably will go down to buy one from then soon

Thanks guys really appreciate the feedback. I didnt like the grill at first but its growing on me. Wanted to try something new out. Im going to use plasti dip if i end up doing it so i can take it off if i dont like it.
Im not really interested in buy a new grill yet. Im going to get my tints done first then either the exhaust or the front lip and trunk spoiler

Thanks man thats good to hear. Havent heard a lot about how good the brand is nor have i done a lot of research but I do really like how they look on the C250. They dont come in any other color besides silver though 
so I might have to get them powder coated or something along those lines

Discount Tire has a few brands of wheels that look like what your going for.
I had the Drag Wheels on my old commuter car a 2010 Prius,the Voxx and Drag from Discount are in the 110 -150 price range but the off set choices are limited. Ive got TSW on my C 250 now, went with them because I got a great deal off used off the forum and they are factory specs for off set so perfect fit. You can spend a lot on wheel, cast or forged , finish etc.
IMO the most important part is getting the correct offset so they fit and look correct. The C needs a lot of off set IMO to look right , thats why the stock and AMG wheels are off set at 45-47 and 55-58 rear otherwise they stick out to much
Ive also got a set of stock 17 that I powder coated that look ok to

I had the stock 17 powder coated satin black with a clear coat cost me $ 200.00 for all four plus $ 40 for the tire dismount and mount
If your thinking about black, Id be interested in a swap plus $ to recover my investment. If your tires are at least 50%and no curb rash , Id swap out your rims and tires and TPMS (direct bolt on swap) for my powder coated black stock 17 rims and tires (tires have 6000 miles on factory Conti) for $ 275.00 I work close to LAX
