Awesome! I was planning to order this same grill, but was worried about fitment. I'll be waiting for the installed pics

Will be a nice mod for Pre-facelifts. Let us know about fitment and quality.

Well, i bought my normal chrome grille from this seller for my PFL.
Fitment was great, so this should be the same.

I also put the distronic star on mine. Will post pic in a sec

This is good news. Thanks for the heads up, I feel really good about my purchase now.
I was a little concerned but the piece looked like pretty good quality so we shall see.
Interested to see what a distronic star is...

I am really going to try and make it out. I assume there isn't a chance in hell you are missing eh?
You heading out Sat and Sun? Cars and Coffee will be out there for sure, always have a real good turn out with those guys.

There is also a large CnC party coming up you should check out if you already haven't in 84 PA, little closer to you and should go out with a bang! Laser Light Party for pictures including your car and stuff. Should be a real good time. Going to try and make that on the 26th as well.
And also keep your eye out for the VIP Hangar Black Tie Event, they just posted the "Save The Date" on www.pghcnc.com.

If it has distronic, it has this star.

The Star on my car came off a wrecked W164 ML though.

Same size.
I love the flat star personally.

I will let you know if I decide to head out. You can bring an "accurate" measuring device and we can get those dimensions you were asking me about as I don't think I will find the time to get the springs installed before then.

I have the pre fl single fin grille from this seller (not glossy though) and the fitment is always spot on. There is some room on one side but as close to stock you can expect. I wish there was a glossy one out when I ordered mine don't feel like dropping another $200 to get one now though.

Sell yours and snag a new one.

I am way too lazy to go through the hassle now. I think I am more or less done with spending money on the car now other than regular required maintenance. Maybe a cf part or two down the line like the front lip or so, but I think I am done for the most part. The diffuser still bothers me from time to time and after feeling like I got burnt on it, I don't feel like spending anymore money on it.

I have been very fortunate over the years with buying mods. That diffuser I bought off that member, was the first time I felt I got a bad product. Seller more or less just kept exclaiming it was new, never really went into detail on the quality. Not the sellers fault, I didn't ask the right questions.
Now I am fully satisfied with my purchase and have moved the old diffuser, so I am super happy with my modding experiences.
Having said that, I am about finished modding as well. I cant seem to think of anything else in the appearance department I want to do. I don't like the CF side skirt and rr side skirt look and I don't like the cf side vent add ons either. I wouldn't mind having wheels, but feel there isn't anything out there that would make me give up the oems as I like them a lot.
As for performance, I go back and forth, but feel the car is blistering fast enough for what I do with it. No need to take on the world, just smoking the local competition on the street is enough for me.

Good idea cause at the end of the day you're never gonna get any of this money back. I had a 350Z fully modded with cf hood and everything and when I sold it, it didn't really give me anything extra. So at the end of the day this hobby is a waste of money, so I am thinking only doing enough to make it stand out a little and that's about it. It doesn't need any power mods considering you can't really drive it too hard on the streets anyway.
