I wouldn't say 80's, more like late 90's early 2000's

You know what I kinda like that grill. It's actually very nice looking.

I hate the all black one with the chrome star on it, yuck.

That grill has the potential to look nice on a car if done right. Especially the black one. the hood star would have to be completely removed, patched up, painted etc if you know what I mean so it looks clean. Cause that grill already looks busy so you dont want anything else to add to it.

Dave I believe the web site for the upgrade is at www.slaccessories.com

P.S. Dave do you see the difference in the SEC look and the updated grille look?

I like the new gill that you found...I think the dated/80's look the one that bigpete may be thinking of is this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...73441857QQrdZ1

this one is definitely alot better than the one on this^ link (the one i provided)

Wel, they see it as so many people have already converted already. and when the thought of w124 comes to mind 300e is more familiar and responding than e320- when I see that I assume its a "96 and up model. I wonder if any local scrap yards have an upgraded hood I can snag, I screwed my hood up and some how got glue on it and this here is my motivation point.
