Nice, helpful to see how a black grill works against the silver paintwork. Sets it off nicely.

Thanks, a big improvement over the stock grille which has way too much silver hiding the black.

55Tech Grille on my black 2013 E350 Coupe

I am very pleased with the result. Also installed smoked turn signals.

Installation was done by an auto body repair shop.

The body paint color is Black (Code 040P)

The 55Tech grill is the SLS-style, single fin

The grille on my car is the chrome, single fin version.

My body shop described the install as a "pain in the ***". However they charged me for an hour of labor.

My question to them:

2010 E550 Coupe grille, this is the model I want to order. https://55tech-motors.myshopify.com/...gle-fin-grill# Chrome outer frame, chrome single horizontal bar and chrome star, with black mesh. Not Distronic. Can you please let me know the model number. Thanks

Their response:

Hi Al
Please choose the first one, Black 197, this is the one with chrome and black, as seen in the first photo.

The installation was easy for me, but I'm an auto mechanics teacher
