Good Lord, not the middle one!

Of the three, I prefer the top - but the middle just looks ragtag if you ask me.

EDIT: Just looked at them again, and frankly I don't care for any option. Sorry!

I'd say, blacked out, no star. That would be PERFECT!

i'd just keep it stock. It looks much better and very sleek IMO. If your car is black and you want the sleeper look, then paint it all black. Personally im not a huge fan of the star grills.

Thanks, H&R springs and Koni's and no fender rolling, the reason it looks so low, it's that I kept my 17" wheels, I like the look , plus it's quicker.

theine: how much did the H&R spring lower your car?
It looks like just a little bit lower from the stock, maybe my eyes are wrong. :-)

Man, you definitelly need glasses if you think my car looks like stock.
H&R springs, will lower it almost 1.5 inches.

The star(MB logo) on the grille....the diameter of the star almost touch the top and bottom edge of the grille...compare with this (USER LORINSER CLK)..........or are they the same..
