Which grill is everyone going for so far? the badgeless or with the star. I do have distronic but I think the badgeless would look a bit better in Carbon on my car however I dont know, can anyone photoshop this on a Benz to see???

This is how it looks like without the star made by Lorinser. The most interested one so far is the 3 slats in carbon fiber with the distronic star.

I still don't know if I want the distronic star, put me in as a maybe...I'd have to see the product finished on an SL exactly how it would look first...I am still partial to the stock non-distronic star

We're talking about real CF and not a sticker right? Then I might be interested too (MY 2003 SL55). The 3 slats seem a bit better than 4 slats:





The CF might contrast nicely with my silver car. I agree with Sunir though that a picture would help the decision.

Yes, we're talking about real CF. The goal is to have the same style as the 07+ grill so it should look almost identical to it except about an inch longer so we can fit it on 03-06 cars.

As long as it fits my 030 front bumper (see sig) I'm in then. Dunno where the extra inch goes, but if you say it fits I'll buy in.

Easy way to tell is if you car came with the 4 slats grill then this will fit.

This is how it is and how it was (same grille), so I'd say yes (distronic yes):



Shouldn't there be an option available for CF hood fins and side fins?

I believe Performance products sold them at one time but I'm pretty sure they were made by MP Design and that usually means about 4-6 months wait.

I'm Out for now. Taking too long and another great forum member gave me his single slat. It looks better than my 4 slat. If this happens in a decent time frame let me know. How long will it take to get 3 people, make the grills, ship them out ?
Thx Mike.
