OT: I think I remember you saying you used EBC red stuff pads before. If so how are they? I just bought a set for my BS rears.

Honestly, I didn't even think Akebono made pads for the rear. I had checked for the Black Series front pads a while ago and they didn't have them. I guess I assumed they didn't make them for the rear either.
I guess I had a brain fart..lol

Eh, I saved myself $50+ anyway. I don't mind trying something new. I will go with the Akebonos the second time around.

i think that the 3-slat grille does look much different from the 4 slat grille.

Nope, the grille and everything else is sitting in a crate in Canada. Hopefully everything will be cleared to be shipped in late October.

well I think the 4 slat grill looks better than the 3 slat or the single slat so all of you can suck my.......

j/k. I like the 3 slat on the AMG bumper, but the 3 slat never looked right with the Brabus bumper. I'm not sure about the single slat...it reminds me too much of an Acura.

Very nice Andy!

I would just leave it as is, but that's just me.

I don't know the big deal is with 3 slat vs 4 slat; I have the 4 slat and have no issues with it. If I was going to change it (I like mine though ), I would go with something like Andy's new one or Wes's Carbon Fiber version.
