Installing Aftermarket Diamond Grille

Did not expect it to be that bad of a fit. I know it wasn't going to be perfect but I am so upset that I'm asking for a refund (and let me tell you how much of a ***** it was to put it on in the first place). I posted some pictures before. I ordered a different aftermarket diamond grill from Muscle-Leopad (I've read some good things on them from this forum and were told its the closest to OEM). I'll post some pictures of what I have installed right now (gaps at the ends, Mercedes-Benz emblem not aligned properly). Let me know what you guys think, looking at that grill just gives me OCD nightmares.

For the C400, that dummy camera does absolutely nothing. There is literally nothing behind that piece of plastic so I decided to order the non-camera grill instead. Plus, its a cleaner look.
