'14 E350 front end
I have just purchased a 2014 Diamond White E350 Sports with more options than I intended, but that pretty thing kept making eyes at me, after ~$65k I’m enjoying this car and forum very much.
I come from a long list of Lexus, Acuras, and infinitis; my last one been a G37s.
I notice two spaces covered with black plastic inserts in the front end, where older models seem to accommodate some lights, possible fog lights; but not offered on the 2014. Those “plugs” just don’t look right. Does anyone know of any OEM or aftermarket option to cover these eye sores (at least in my view).
Thanks,
Oscar

However, ask you dealer or have them do it because it could void your warranty

2010 E350 Luxury Sedan, Engine 272 (V6)
Congrats on the new car. I looked at both Sports and Luxury versions at the dealership and just don't like either one.
While appropriate on other models, to me just does not seem to reflect a mid-sized luxury sports sedan. Front of E should look more like front of S IMO. MB has plenty of other "sport" models out there.
The big holes in the front end serve no purpose and sort of look like they are made for an option that you didn't get. Also will attract dirt, debris and be harder to keep clean.
Not sure why more makes are going to the really big holes in front end styling, but apparently they are.
