Just wanted to give some feedback on this...

I had my oem guard smashed sometime back in a fender bender...was looking for a decent replacement...happened to find this very post in Classifieds...

The guard was just perfect...scratch free, flawless and came at a very reasonable price compared to MB's price...

nope...don't need any MB accessory for now...

Had everything stock installed at the dealership when I bought it brand new...so don't need anything else for now...

Will post the photo of the installed grill guard one of these days though...it really came out nice..

Adopeter, here's the grill guard replacement that I purchased from you..

The damaged one on the right and the restoration on the left on the truck...



Still need to get the rock shields for the Hella fot lights and a new license plate to complete the restoration project.

And here's a closer (top) view of the damaged grill guard - the damage was beyond repair.
