HELP!!
@okashi1305 and @all, did you guys have any issue with the front 360 camera misaligned? I bought a grille from ebay and followed this guide installed it myself now I have two issues.
1: (BIG ISSUE) My front 360 camera is angled up and the 360 camera stitching is way off, cheap grille issue, I don't believe re-calibrating will fix this.
2) There is a gap formed between the hood and grille edges.

Also, massive thanks to clunker for the guide!

Next to the headlights, there is a slanting gap formed on both sides, fixing by pushing the bumper in, creates gap in the headlights and bumper on the side

The camera is angled up, folks who used the CKS grille, are your front 360 cameras stitching fine?

I purchased one from Amazon - the premade area where the camera goes - the camera did not fit and you had to cut it.

I returned the grill, purchased the CKS motorworks out of the UK- for the GLS450. Waiting for it to arrive. I spoke to their support, I was told it would fit.

Will update you after it gets installed.

I’m in the same boat! Are you installing it yourself? If not, how much are you paying?

Not installing myself. Paying a body shop an hour or two of labor.
