Blackout front grille

Where can I find a blackout front grille? The kind that's all black but the star is still silver.

You can get them from one of two places......

http://www.autoblz.com/catalog/produ...2f7d0168943614

http://verimexx.sauerland-web.net/ve...etail&katid=97

Verimexx told me with shipping it would be 220 euro which comes out to about $267 US.

I have a black car. I'm still waiting to see if a guy I know is going to make a grille for me. If he doesn't then I'll probably order from Verimexx or whatever their name is. Just heard of too many problems with the other guys.

2000 Silver CLK430
I got my silver grill from Verimexx for my silver 430. Only problem is they don't accept Paypal so you have to wire transfer the $ to them which costs about $40 with my bank. They are more expensive than Autoblz but Autoblz is so screwed up I'd never buy anything from them.

AutoBLZ Good Experience

Just thought I would put in a good word for AutoBLZ as I used them a flat hood badge and special AMG plate in December. Only charged me one shipping price (although the system charged it twice since I did it in two orders) and it came very quickly. I spent alot of time emailing the owner because of the concerns I found on the forum but to be honest I found the owner very helpful and he did what he said. IMHO.

I agree. Worst experience I ever had in buying on the Internet. Save yourself a lot of problems and buy elsewhere.

Need a quick opinion from the group...

I'm thinking about buying a replacement aftermarket grill. Which grill will go best with my Black Opal 430...the black or silver grill with the silver star?

AMG
At one point, I thought about purchasing another factory grill and having it painted Atlas Grey, the color code for the current "silver grill" that comes on several models. I think Brilliant Silver (744) on a Brilliant Silver car is a little too much. Anyone done this?
