Perfect fit...no extra effort to get it to work...all stock holes seemed to line up fine.

The fog lights were a HID conversion that my tuner did and the city lights I just got off Ebay.

Here is the top fitment of the grill. The bottom portion of the grill has slight tabs that fit the front bumper to keep the bottom portion of the grill snug. You can see the grill holes line up with the 4 top stock holes and 2 side holes that keep the OEM grill in place.

The internals surface of the headlights were painted and the lenses (headlights and foglights) were coated with Lamin-x tinted shielding...

Agreed. BUT if I cannot get a response from a seller I will not buy from
them. What happens if it's damaged or I have an issue. If they don't respond before I buy chances are they won't after. I have no idea why no response. I sent ANother email today. Last item I bought off eBay ( new sl500 windscreen) was damaged by ups. Dealing with charebacks etc. But ups insurance won't deal with receiever only shipper, So I'm loosing $.
I called number off tha site, doesn't even ring. Straight voicemail. No response

wow! im shocked! i ordered mine wednesday and as i was leaving to head to key west in the sl for the weekend the dhl guy showed up with my grill! and the shipper is on the other side of the country! im in florida adn they are in washington state i believe.
dont hesistate to buy from them, it came perfect, the hardest part was snapping the original MB star on the grill. whole install didnt take 10 minutes. it was cake. i went with the black grill and chrome bar and stripe to match the black grills on the sl55 already. car is mars red, looks pretty good i think. i took a quick pic with my phone and i'll upload it in a few. i like it i think. i 'll take better pics when i get back from vaca.

Hi

I have replied to your very first email but you kept send the same email, I think you didnt get my email, i think it went to your spam.

anyways, i should have try to send email via ebay like right now.

the grille will be shipped from oversea for now, we are closing our warehouse in Richmond, we have to move to the US cuz of high Canadian dollars.

let me know if you got this email

thanks
