S550 Lower Grill replacement 2010
HI,
Has anyone replaced the lower plastic honeycone grill on an S550 with the APG Billet grill. Under $40
Per the advertisement seems like a nice product. Made of aluminum and bolts over the old grill. Any concerns for restricting airflow?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help.
Bob

Are you sure there is one for the S550. That says Chrysler 300.

Location of ad for lower grill
The grill is advertised on CARiD.com under Billet Grills, then the car info, MB S550 2010. Grill is made by APG. Looking for a replacement for plastic OEM grill because see too many OEM plastic grills continuously breaking and requiring replacement.

It doesn't fit AMG models, just non amg. What do you have?

How about this:

Lower Grill
My car is not AMG. If I buy this grill I will probably paint it black. Still thinking of just buying OEM and hope it doesn't break again.

Noooo. Looks terrible and I'm pretty sure that pic is a Photoshop. How did you break your grille?
