C300
Grill replacement cost
Hi guys,

I'm new to C300, I really like the aftermarket diamond grill and looking for a shop to install it.

Could anyone give me an idea of how much labor should be fair? I've quoted several shops and labor from $250 - $500, it's kinds steep, I don't know if I've been over quoted.

Thanks!

BTW, this is the after market grill I'm trying to get:

I did my own in about 2 hours... I'd imagine a shop would charge you about the same time. Maybe 3 if they put 2 people on the job which certainly make things easier...

Yes, the bumper must come off to swap the grille out. I did a diamondburst swap on my car, took a couple hours with a buddy of mine, but cost me about $200 for everything.

Definitely doable by yourself. Took me a few hours to take off the bumper without jacking up the car.
