Fastbuck

Not for me I'm afraid

E-Klasse

I am not a big fan of the blacked out grill.

45acp

here's mine (thanks Rich!)

Looks sharp - what do you think about a flat badge ?

jerseydriver

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

Looks fly,maybe you'll get the black rims for that mysterious stealth look...

This may further your mystery....

Ruffrob,are those stock wheels on your E ?

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

ruffrob

No,they're not C,those rims can be obtained at the site below....They're the MB140,but you don't need to travel on F'ed up,pothole laden streets in NY/NJ like i do,unless you got a cousin at Michelin....They're 18"s

The roads down here are just as F'uped as anywhere in the state.Look what happened to me last week :https://mbworld.org/forums/c36-amg-c43-amg-w202/132563-nuts-bolts-boy-did-i-get-screwed.html
I need a hook at Michelin , I eating tires like Oprah eats bon-bons.

ruffrob

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!!!

C43AMG

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 ?

ruffrob

Yes,the website is fly, isn't it,right down to the dreamy European song loop!! Nicely done,In answer to your question,they were $500

C43AMG

Are you running a staggered set-up on your car ?

ruffrob

No additional modification was done. Just put the rims on and jet....

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.

Blk grill with carbon fiber hood ain't so bad... :p

shadowgriffen

Hey Richard, thats one sick *** car

I personally like the blacked out grill on a black car.

ruffrob

Nice,nice ride,Richard. Kinda put me in mind of Knight Rider.....

The black on black looks real good. Do you have any issue's w/ flaking or bugs messing up the painted grill?

Richard Galing

Thanks guys for the kind words! Yes, it's a original Brabus CF spoiler designed to fit the SPORT/AMG front clip. The picture is a few years old, the spoiler and a few items are now in Mike's (The Godfather) possession.

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.

Richard Galing

Hahaha...actually, here's a picture of my version of "Kitt".
