CLK Big Star grill conversion revisited

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am interested in doing the big star grill conversion on my 2000 CLK 430. Most of the threads on this subject have been helpful in at least me choosing the one I want ( I like the proportioned or smaller star look). However, besides some of the retailers already listed on the forums, does anybody know of others? Which place did you have the best experience with? Which place had the best looking/fitting grill?

So far, I've checked out performance products and evosport.com. Are there others?

Also, I'm looking for a chrome factory (or AMG) exhaust tip for the stock exhaust system. For some reason I've got a black one currently and would love to finish the rear end off with this chrome piece. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Cheers

I just bought my big star grille from them for $250. They have both kinds: the W208 grille with a star in the middle, and a grille similar to the W209. I'd say go with the W208 one...the 209 grille looks as if it sticks out slightly on the bottom. Sort of like a bulge in the car. Havent seen pictures other than the ones they have in the instructions, though.
