The price of 800.00$ looks me crazy and out of market!
Car Multimedia ( www.car-multimedia.at/LCD%20...Seite%2020B.htm ) sell exactly the same grill for 395,00 Euros plus shipping (but they don't sell by internet so you need to contact them directly by phone or fax and they speak german). The same grill is sold by mercedespsrformance http://www.mercedesperformance.co.uk...assW208Ext.pdf at 275 Pounds (English money) while www.formymercedes.com will sell soon a new grill CL stile with big star and without frame for $ 249.00 (see: http://www.formymercedes.com/mb_resu...tegory=Grilles ). There are not images yet of this last grill and I'm waiting to see this grill before to buy one.

i'd rather purchase the big star grille somewhere and also triple chrome it somewhere else too. i've gotten way better quotes to chrome larger items than 340$/pint

I'm sure your offer is a great one... but I was quoted recently for a figure more than 40% off the below one that you offer. i already know where to purchase everything and where to get it chromed... if I wanted to.. i could have everything done and on my car in less than a week.

I'M not chroming anything.. people at the shops are. ask them how they are gonna do it because i don't know how the WHOLE process works. however they are gonna do it, they quoted me at a lower price.

don't get mad at me cause i'm drawing away potential customers for you because i said i got quoted cheaper. :p

Who cares...if you like the grill buy it...if you can get a better deal go someplace else. No harm ...no foul.

E320CDI, CLK55, and a Smart
There is a way to chrome not metalic items. Not the cheapest method though.
