did the 2021 look grill on our 2017 GLS450

i really like it, but what irritates me is the missing bar right above the star.

contacted the seller and they said it's just the way it is, i sent them pics of the original grill and asked them to do a tool change and that i would be happy to purchase one if they released it.

anyhow. i still like it.

Hi,
is yhe grill the silver one? Could you post more pics ? Like the current look, but i may change later. These are advertised to increase airflow to the radiator, do you feel any change?

Bob
