here's the grille update some of you have been waiting for if you have seen my Arctic Obsession thread over on the w204 forum. thought you guys would be interested as well since this will also fit on the C63.

this is the grille that I'll be getting and been help testing thanks to K1. pricing hasn't been set. I'll be the first one. you can also check out K1 for update. the pics are actually showing the mold that will be used. I'm very excited. I'll be testing for them for the pre-production grille hopefully next week. If all goes well I should have it in time for the Nov. 15th Saprissa Meet.

as soon as I know more detail I'll let everyone know. so far they say it'll weight in at approx 14oz. aero grade CF product. serial numbered something like it and should be very strong.

The pictured below is the Molding if anyone's wondering.

Sorry for my ignorance, but is that the molding? or is that the actual product??

I am REALLY looking forward for this one!!!

FrankW

that is the molding

i think it would look neater with more slats.

FrankW

just wait and see what the finished one will be like. for the first prototype fitment we had the hood closed and it was...ROOL:...I can't wait...

Very nice!

To my untrained eye, looks like the Brabus CF grille, but probably without the obscene price tag...

Hey Frank dont forget item no 2 is mine... ok?



Edited: Oh syeet did you say Dry Carbon? No Shinny Black CF?

FrankW

you can always clear coat it.

edit: I just asked K1. they say they'll have an option to clear coat it for extra cost.

MNL ICE the presence of your car will look even deadlier with that grille

definitely need to post pics once you get it!

I agree.

Definitely looks like a Brabus grille and definitely looks bad*ss.

Looks very nice Frank. Although, that is a picture of the "plug." You make a mold off of a plug.

LOving the grill, nice work.

paulGT3

the molding looks like the Hyudai Genisis.

Looks great!
I want one!
Keep us posted when it will be finished and available.
Any comments on what would look best with Palladium Silver, clear coat or not?

cdd

I prefer to say that it looks like the Brabus Bullit

FrankW

will do

no clear coat gives a more stealth look. all depends on what you want. i'm going for the no clear coat one myself.

FrankW

test fitting "real" prototype grille tomorrow...pics to come...YES!!!

FrankW

tested the prototype #1 monday noon. looks like K1 can get an early production one ready by the Nov 15th big SoCal meet.

held the grille today. it weight next to nothing. I'd say around 1lb tops.

I took some quick pics while they're marking it down for fitment.

MNL ICE

bigbodybeeenz

How's the fitment? Tough to tell from the pictures.

FrankW

fitment's gonna be perfect. that's why they had me go in for final test fit for one last time.

Thericker

Very nice! wish you guys made (1) for my SL600...

FrankW

saturday yo! K1 asked me to show it at the meet.

after that they'll finalize a price on it. told me they might get a group-buy going with discount for ya'll.
