Grille Struggles

Hey guys,

I have a 2012 C350 4matic and wanted to get a gloss black front grill.
Does anyone know a good place to find/buy grilles.
Tried looking on Ebay but only found one post for a gloss black grille that I liked, only problem is its from China and im worried about the quality.

It fit no problems and quality wasn't an issue. The grille doesn't attach to the T bar like the OEM grille does, so you would just need to remove that too when you swap the grilles.

Hey I was looking at the site and they had a nice gloss blck one but I realized the front mesh on my bumper isn't honey comb but it's diamond shaped. Thinking it would look weird putting that grille on

How long did it take for them to ship it to you?
