I wrapped some more of my trim last night. It turned out flawless! I stood back and felt althought the color contrast was perfect and the work was impeccable, it left a lot to be desired in the way I class and finished look.
I learned that the oem look better suits me.
I don't want to go full on sport, just enough to set it aside, this would have been full on sport.
This grille is probably going to have an awesome fitting as I've purchased grille's from the seller before and they fit near perfect. Thanks Autosport for the pm, but I still have my other single fin grille and I really don't see a point in getting a third set. If you're interested in his single fin chrome look grille, which is what I have, we can talk about trading perhaps. Plus, I know the seller that sells the grilles as I've bough a few grilles from him before so he always gives me a little bit of a better deal than his ebay listings.
DHL is showing to have delivered the grill. I will check as soon as I get home.
Due to the amount of interest regarding the grill, as a heads up, the interested party sending payment to McKee.shane18@gmail.com first will receive the grill.
Well I held the grill up to the front of my car, and I gotta say, I am in love with the looks of it!
The Star is so much more pronounced than the oem and looks mean as hell.
Looks like I may end up keeping it fellas.
I did compare the aftermarket emblems to the oems yesterday as well.
The Star is oem so it is perfect match.
The fender emblems are a spot on replica.
The AMG emblem, I notice very minor differences, same size, same thickness of badge.
Then C63 emblem is the only one I would say is somewhat noticeably different. It seems to be a tad bit bigger.
I am probably going to just keep them as I don't want anyone to be disappointed in their purchase. I may end up painting them all black or I may just go back to dipping my oem's while on the car, who knows. I have a few mods I am up in the air on atm.
Quality is remarkable really. One area where paint didn't take but is hidden in a seem and is on bottom side where will never be seen. Is also very tiny spot. Vendor still working with me on it though. I believe he is sending another one.
Keep in mind this is gloss black, the pics pick up a lot of reflections, the paint is absolutely perfect, except that one small area inside the star seam.
Actual Pics:
Paint Issue:
Nothing a little black nail polish wont cover up. Again, it is underneath where it will never be seen, I just don't want it to create a peeling effect, so best to put an end to it now.
I received email confirmation this morning that Jason at 55Tech is replacing my grill due to the paint imperfection.
It really isn't that bad, I explained that to him, but he wants to take care of it anyway. I am 100% pleased with the quality of the product, and the service I am receiving to correct the small paint issue.

I've updated with new pics above as well as the title of the thread and 1st post, may as well turn it into an informative thread instead of deleting it.

Like I said, Jason is a stand up guy. Which is why I vouched for him!
Trying to find the blk/sil grill on his ebay store but I need it for the distronic. Sent him an email, fingers crossed. Will ****** one up immediately.

I emailed him before, they don't carry black grilles for '12+ coupe and facelift models. Sucks.
