Yes. There are two guys locally and both will NOT allow pick-ups. One other does but wants to charge me a handling fee -- so screw them. I figure I'd try here.

you are welcome to look through those pictures- there's some comparison shots in there somewhere. i need to update the album since i've finished more on the car- but the grille was done then. i know the picture comparing the two laying on the ground looks odd- but it's the camera angle. the ebay guy also include the longer pull lever the sticks out of the grille when you open it from inside the car. also- when i bought mine he also included a flat hood emblem.

yeah the deal specified a flat hood emblem and some mb tire valve caps

i didnt see anything about the longer latch though! this pleases me very much as i was just going to use some moleskin to cover up the side of the short lever that scratches the CL grille -- +1 AWESOME!
