If you go with ANY of these make it the one where it's just the chrome outside border/housing painted black. Leave the rest normal. I've decided to leave mine stock for now otherwise buy the one I posted the link to. Won't be painting the stock one.

one benefit of a silver car is that the grille looks like its body colored. if I had another color, I'd swap it ASAP

Fully agree. That's one of the reasons I got it in silver (besides its being my favorite MB color, especially for 2doors). Actually its very strange - for sedans MB uses black fins that matches all colors, for coupes/roadsters/suv (anything they consider "sport" or what comes with "star" grill) - brilliant/iridium silver fins regardless of car color.

Someone posted this on the C63 forum.
IMO a black grill on a black car looks great. Does not have to be murdered out like this one.

Only looks good because the whole car is murdered out.

Here is a suggestion

Paint it black but leave the chrom, it will give the car an AMG style
