I modded an ML500 grille and put it on.. PIC

I took the old grille out of the housing and cut the ML grille to fit in the housing and modified it to fit on the car.. tell me wat you think.. im thinking about painting the silver on the grille to smoke silver (color of the car).. I also put the new HEADLIGHTS and FOG lights.. the heads have a horrible beam pattern with the xenons tho



tell me what you guys think!

It looks preety nice to me although I personally would rather keep the stock look. But it's up to you, it's your car! :p Don't let the comments of other people disturb you, the point of modifying a car is to make it up to your needs, not someone elses.

forums are used to receive feedback from other members. the owner of the car even asked "what do you guys think?"

there are going to be people who like it, people who don't like it, and people who won't care to comment on it.

personally, i think it looks terrible.....but to each their own!

I think it looks GOOD, but if you remove or paint the holes area black it will look better IMO.

It is clean and well done, but I am not in favor. I prefer the stealth look - or at least subtle. Lights look great!

BTW - I would never park next to an old BBQ in a lot!

Can you post a full frontal view? I don't think I like it, but it isn't so bad and maybe it is because of the angle.

The black grill doesn't look too good to me either, unless it's on a black car.

Does anyone have a color-keyed grill?
