OEM Grill to Diamond Grill swap Installer Wanted - SoCal

Hi there. I am hoping someone in this forum is willing to make a some extra holiday cash and assist me swapping out my OEM grill on my 2015 C300 to the Diamond or GT-R style grill. I live in Southern California and are willing to drive to get the assistance. Perhaps, someone has a good shop in Southern California that has done this? Nonetheless, thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Cheers and Happy Friday!

I just switched my grill out, C63 diffuser/tips installed, & black mirror housing put in. I got quotes from 3 different body shops asking for $400+. My detailer started doing bodywork & asked him to do the install & he charged me significantly less to do the job. I’m gonna post pics in my own thread but if you’re interested ask for Santos at Alan’s Superior Details in Placentia. Tell him Bryant sent you.

Do it yourself

this was a super easy swap to do myself with minimal tools
don’t waste your money
it literally took me 15 minutes to do it myself ..trust me anyone can do it in their driveway or parking lot..you just remove a couple bolts ..slide out the old slide in the new and you’re done
there’s vids on YouTube

I have a nip c43 diamond style grill I got on eBay if you want it ..I ended up going to the c63 amg style

heres some before and after
