Why is there no company making these !!?? That looks pretty damn good. You can find them for the freakin CLA but not the amg gt. If anyone knows someone who can make them, maybe get a group buy for them?

Im sure that front end remodel will cost a pretty penny. When you factor in buying a 2016, finding a reputable shop to do it, get the parts, color match paint, I’m sure it will be close to cost of a used 2018

$7k for front bumper conversion and paint (which you can turn around and sell down the road)
Or
$20k-60k price difference between 2016 and 2018 GTS

The grill that NoSlipN showed is definitely aftermarket, not a modified stock grill (different shape and missing parktronic sensors) so I suggest to get in touch which the shop that did it. Looks nice, shouldn't cost more than a few hundred and easy fit...

I think he was saying that the shop bought a 2018 grill, flipped it upside down, did some epoxy/trimming wizardry, and made it work.
Upside down of this:

I have been looking into this as I do like the new grill better, the Pan grill on other Mercedes is close to the size of the GTS and the right orientation, just need to do the measurements, I think I am just gonna do the 2018 whole bumper though. But love just the grill too.

Just an update for anyone interested. I'm a little bothered that they make an aftermarket "gtr/panamericana" grill for every benz conceivable except our GT. I guess supply and demand. First I tried calling tint world, no answer. So I measured my grill opening and measured other benz openings. The idea was to find a grill that is larger than ours and trim to fit. Every other mercedes car has a smaller grill than ours. Suv's would work but the star emblem is entirely way too big for our cars. The only one I felt was close enough to work was the older ML W166 since back then the emblem was normal size and not planet earth size. Purchased the grill but it was a few inches too small in a few areas so would not work without looking stupid. Sent that back. Proceeded to explode tint worlds telephone line. Got an answer and a quote at $2500. He mentioned using the oem grill off the facelift which is $1500 @ dealer, plus modification to grill and bumper to fit. Not saying its too expensive as I know parts for this car at the dealer are crazy, but $2500 for a grill is just not doable for me. Much rather put that into wheels, tune, or real life bills, lol. So after scouring ebay I found a usable grill out of the UK. Purchased and patiently waiting to try my hand at the frankenstein grill. I'll keep you guys updated.

For that price you can get the Upgrade bumper kit from China, I have seen the whole bumper kit with the grill starting at $1300, not saying any are good but I will include a few links, the best one I saw had carbon on it.
