Some might LOVE $14 metal speakers grilles - OMG not not MB Germany !
Continuing with my off-book 2016 C300 base model as a test platform for "fun" - affordable - "quality" chatsky/chotskie stuff..
I call the front and rear door speaker covers in the base system "Blackie's".
Changing those Blackie's to metal grilles - from the start - and by no means am I trying to impress myself or others by pretending to have the Burmester (made by Mitsubishi by the way).
This eBay vendor has "quality" metal Burmester-look grilles - and frankly they are very well made - even uses genuine 3M brand two sided die cut tape for the application - and have a inner fabric screen to prevent rattling or scratches when installing over the Blackies
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-Speake...72.m2749.l2649
See the attached photos - for under $14 - 3 weeks for post delivery from China.
You be the judge-and-jury from the photos - frankly fabulous - sh*t $14 - the "toughest" part is correctly removing the very thin red 3M plastic from the adhesive tape - super smooth/clean install.
Keep the beat !

Well, since we're in a court of law...
I must admit to the jury that after much resistance, I too finally succumbed to the sirens of interior stainless steel dress up items.
The two items would be:
Center cup holder cover...
...and the trunk handle cover...
...and to continue the denial over not owning a "true" AMG, a knockoff AMG key FOB cover for my C450...

I actually like the look of the black covers too (against the black wood accent) but the metal grille is definitely a nice touch. They look like quality parts. Cheers!

I have genuine AMG FOB(s) - and the AMG China Fob cover frankly is 100% "correct" - the packaging 90% "identical" the box is "slightly" thinner/different..I have like 6/8 in my desk in the case one of my fellow AMG owners loses their original key - since replacement keys come standard fob...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Door-A...pYBxH7&vxp=mtr
and you can't tell it's an add-on. it looks 100% flush as if it were from factory.
i like to place my ciggarettes and lighter there when i put drinks on the cup holders.
