crazy how bad this grill looks in the original post, but how good it really does look in person.


Installed mine recently. Was a pain in the butt to install without taking the bumper off but got it done.

I added some silver to the vertical bars to break up all the black.

Completed the look with an AMG logo. Definitely finished it off nicely.

looks like an absolute BEAST, im in love with the mods! howd you add the 12 color ambient lighting and 12.3" screen? Looking to do almost all the same mods to my, new to me, 2017 gls 63 so any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Also, peeped your license plate and I am a state over so any recs for mechanic would also be appreciated (if you didnt do the work yourself); clearly a phenomenal job!

Relax cruising now.

Sorry for the late reply.
Mesh grill fits snug right in front of the radiator. There's a extra level of protection from rocks , now the ghils like grill exposes everything. Mesh grill was bought few years ago. From custom mesh grills .com ), (or something). Bought it for Audi (covered 2 auxiliary radiators exposed fully- air vents). This was the leftovers, I think I bought the 40 inch version. Local indy trimmed and applied, had to take the bumper out. Not hard. But very happy, as this car goes really fast.

hope that helps,

Cheers,

Bob
