Found this while looking for a steering wheel. Figured i'd share for those interested.

You gotta watch out Obsidian.....that's a regular W204 grill...might be a little tall and may need some massaging to make it fit

Thought about that, but it didn't specify, even though a lot of guys got the reg C Elegance grille to work.

I no longer have my car, so I just lurk, and add when I can.

What's your replacement ride

A bit off-topic, but I was wondering if there's any pros or cons of getting a starless grill that has the plastic mesh-pattern backing, and one that doesn't (i.e. Mode Carbon's grill).

I don't see many people with the Mode Carbon CF grill, but rather see more people blacking out their entire OEM grill instead. Even in Mode Carbon's gallery thread, the cars displayed don't incorporate Mode Carbon's starless CF grill.

Is this a preference thing? Or is there something about not having the plastic mesh-pattern backing that affects the engine?

Just driving my E46 M for now. Waiting on some new cars to come out.

Believe it's just preference. Im sure the mesh behind is for better protection in case something gets through. I personally like it with the mesh. Looks unfinished without it, and can see all the brackets, and rad behind it.

I personally don't like the big star in the grill. Wish my car had the traditional MB hood ornament. Reminds me of my parent's cars when I was growing up.

Nice! I'm getting an awesome quote for a 2012 CTS-V wagon too.

Totally!

I contacted Canepa to find out how much the widebody kit was....$11,500!

And we thought the Mercedes tax was bad....still looks unbelievable
