2009-SL63 & SL65 Front Grille Custom Retro Fit...

Has anyone found or have had customized a 2009 SL63/SL65 Front Single Bar Grille and Mesh that will fit years 2004 through 2007 SL55 or SL65 Body Style? If you have please let us know and show us your pictures! I've been searching for some time now and have had absolutely no luck at all in finding this custom AMG grille! The below pic is from a 2009 SL63 AMG...

So I'm not sure if I should buy the 09 grille and have them try to cut and modify it, or if it would be a waste of money and effort??? One wrong cut and the grille is done if you know what I mean! Oh well it would of been a nice look though..

Really? How's that? looks like a crummy photo-chop

Did you take a giant Sharpie marker to the actual grill

I swear every post you make is either an out right lie or silly

Notice your pathetic P-chop blk scribbles on a stock grill pic, you couldn't even stay inside the lines scribbles go out onto the frnt bumper etc...

Got any close-ups genius

Dam, I see it now!! When I first looked at his post I didn't pay much attention to it as I thought WTF who would roll around like that???

Now I see what you are talking about and who the F would even take the time to mess with jerking around doing this! Probally way to much time on his hands! Jerking off would be much more productive wouldn't you think???

No really G_KATS, the more that I look at your creation, the more I think that this is some funny *** crap!! Dude you need to practice, practice, practice on your Photoshop editing! Someday maybe you'll get it right and you can add some Gull Wings to your ride with some 32" Wheels!!! Now I would like to see that! How about sometime tomorrow, can you get-er-done by then???

I don't know what's worse your waterhead posting abilities or the actual content? I'll say it again outt've your entire post history here you've FAILED to add anything of pertinent value about SL's or MB's in general or even a good joke

just a hopeless SOB

Porsche guy who drives SL63 w/ perf pkg AND perf suspension

It would be possible to take the 07 3 slat grille and just use the one center slat to get a one slat grille.
