Not doing this but curious as well. Perhaps plasti-dip. It has to be something that doesn’t interfere with the sensor..

Im curious as well. All the blackout grilles i see say they don't fit the AMG models. What is the difference if reusing the OEM star?

2019 C292 Black Grille Cover GLE63s
Good day,

I’m looking to upgrade the grille cover on my 2019 GLE63s coupe(C292) to black. Can someone please point me in the right direction on finding an aftermarket for the AMG models.

////BREAK////

I managed to call the Mercedes Benz parts department and was told to look for a Vin# on a GLE63s coupe(C292) with night package. Night package grille cover alone is just under $500. That been said I found several on CarFax.com and will be calling them back tomorrow.

@ccrizk , or anyone else who has successfully done this, I'm so intrigued and interested in doing this to my 2025 E350 but I have a front emblem question: what about putting it through a car wash?
Any issues with the car wash brushes and any emblem or hood damage?

Did the G Wagen Panamericana AMG Emblem fit the Grille? Since it's G-wagen, just asking since EBay says its not compatible.
