Please, I am not looking for a trade or anything below $145. I am very firm on this because I am returning the vehicle to OEM specs and do not want to loose anymore money than I have spent on the grill (Grill $140+Paint $180 = $320 + Tax.)

At $145 im basically giving it away.

My bad, I dug up the wrong receipt.

A grill like this costs $250

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BENZ-...QQcmdZViewItem

I got the OEM from dealer and had it painted matte black at dealership which I think ended up looking a lot sleek and nice than most aftermarket grills with the huge star inserts.

looks to me like a DIY job with runs and cracked paint in the middle part and brush hair on the top.

I did click on the image link. my friend taibao repainted the grille from gloss to matte black recently by the bodyshop it looked much better and only cost $80.

good deal none the less if someone's looking for a replacement grille for cheap. I would be interested if it didn't look DIYish.
