Aftermarket front bumpers…

I’ve seen threads many times on this subject but cannot find a comprehensive review on multiple ones.

I have a 2016 GTS and am looking to freshen up the front. I already have a nice lip and painted my grille gloss black but was looking to modernize the front. Is it nice and possible to go with the face lifted (2018+) GTC front? Which nicer aftermarket ones are out there? Pricing? Photos? Thank you in advance.

There are two, possibly three, threads about the Panamericana grille swap. Unfortunately I don't know where they are but a search should work. The swapped out grilles look pretty good but the shape is of the current style you have.

When I saw the Panamericana grille in 2017 that's when I decided I wanted to buy a GT. I bought my coupe in mid 2018 when they first came out here in the US. Now, it seems as if every AMG model uses the grille.

I like the grille that comes with the 2016/17 GT/GTS. Its the shape of the opening that I dislike. Wish it was shaped wider.

I think what you have done so far looks great on your car. I think the grille looks unique to this car, the Panamericana grill to me looks like the grill every other AMG model has been adorned with.

You could look at a Darwin Pro/style front that changes up the front to the 18+ style while adding more aggression.

There are very few options out there for a full front bumper, the only one i can think of is the Darwin pro- Looks great but it's very expensive.

I replaced the front grille with the Panamerica grill on my gts.
