Grille selection question.

I need to upgrade from a old style 4 rib grille to a 05+ 3 rib one. Here is the vendor options:

http://www.performanceproducts4benz....288&pid=102997


Whats the right one? I assume the bottom one is the correct one as the top two ones even though they say 3 rib are 2001+ and has to be the old school 4 rib ones? And what is the atlas grey option? Is that the color of the plastic mesh behind the ribs?

Thanks!

Where are you located?

I may be willing to sell mine. I want to get a CL type grill.

I'll get a pic and show you.

I was going to go that route but decided to paint mine first and see how that looked. I am VERY happy with the way my silver car looks with a flat black stock grill. Just another thought...

I'm probably going to swap my grille out with a three fin w/the logo in the center, much like my old C-coupe. The stock grill is nice, but without the hood ornament, it's a little 'too' civilized, I think.

Its a black AMG badge. I'm going to go with a carbon front and rear spoiler and paint all the badges flat black as well. I think the silver, black, and carbon contrast nicely. Window tint is slightly illegal as well.....but it looks sweet!

Sorry this is everyone else.
