Chrome grille guard

Is there a high-quality chrome grille guard for the ML63? It does not have to be made by MB. This would be on a Parktronic-equipped car so it would be fine if a grille meant Parktronic always had to be turned off.

Per the MBUSA web site, the factory chrome grille guard "cannot be installed on either the ML-350 or the ML-500 equipped with the AMG-Sport-Package or Parktronic options" and the grille guard does not even show up as an option when building the ML63.

Thanks ahead of time for helpful replies.

I've seen the grill guard on a 350 and 500, and it looks great, but I've never even seen one suggested on an ML63. On lesser vehicles it looks good but I wouldn't want the added weight, or loss of parktronic. (IMHO)

Not too concerned about disabling Parktronic or having an extra seventy-five lbs on the front end of this particular car. It would just be nice to have a more distinctive front and chrome grille guards can look great (though some guards can definitely ruin a car's look). On the non-sport ML, the MB guard looks really good.
