wow, the blacked out grill really makes the car
the flat badge and all the chrome blacked out will make that car really stand out and look super sharp. that would be the icing on the cake
e-klasse doesnt know what he is missing out on. i guess to eash his own, but i always felt the chromed grill looked gaudy

Hi all. In my opinion a black out grill ,or any blacked out chrome part makes this car look bad; just look from the side how the chrome draws beautiful lines on this car and how it stands out harmoniously .... just my thought, good luck

Damn,brother,after seeing THAT,I don't feel so bad. When coming over the same bridge where the two cops lost their lives recently (RIP) from Jersey City,i got two flats at the same time. Luckily i got towed for $50 back to Newark on this guys flatbed. Those rims are real nice,but better for Florida or California,since putting them on during my yearly winter vacation in 2004,I've bought 4 tires besides the ones for when I first got the rims (Eight tires total). You can see why I need a brother at the MXV factory!!!

I checked out the website.They did that website-top notch.It took a bit to load up (56k) , but it was worth it.I didn't see any pricing.If you don't mind , what did those set you back ?

I love my black grill, I was worried about doing it on a sivler car, but I'm happy. If my car was black I wouldn't have thought twice. I also did all my emblems in black.

As for the grill flaking, no not really...it took a beating from the rock/stone chips. I also had a euro model grill blk'd out that better withstood the natural elements, you can see it on Mike's E-ride.
