btw, guys...don't expect this to be cheap like those run of the mill wet carbon stuff. dry carbon due to the material used is more expensive, so save up!! 
definitely worth it. glad I didn't wait for the front lip.

here's the final look of the pre-production. pic courtesy of monkey/mig888
look at how the fitment where the lower part meets the grille is fixed. compare to the test fitment first posted in the thread.
pricing should be available end of this week according to K1.

I agree with the others, the star should be in the middle aswell. I think the W204s would look naked w/o that star there.
I would go for a CF grill with the star in it and a CF lip aswell.

damn, that CF grille did look pretty gangster. I'd go with the Bullit style myself. I asked K1 about starting an "interest check" on some of the CF projects I tried to handmake for the M271 and they said as long as I can get ~10 people interested, I'd also have a production piece in 3 weeks!

they did the grille in just 3 weeks from concept to production. I'm sure if they're able to gather interest for the C55. they can do it within 3 weeks also. Doesn't the CLK/W209 uses the same grille as C55?
