Front grill pics and poll!
I am thinking about swapping out my grill. I have two grills that are the 4 slat version but was thinking about a single slat.
This is for my 2005 SL55 in black.
How about some pics of your upgraded/replaced grill and a poll of your favorite style!

I'm starting to think that blacking out the 3 or 4 slat grill and leaving the star is the best look.
From straight on, there is not much difference, but from angles, the single slat grill can look a bit awkward. I may soon throw a 4 slat grill (painted black) back on my current SL600.
My old 2006 SL55 with painted black 4 slat grill:
My current 2004 SL600 with single slat grill (painted black)

Triple.Sevens photos are exactly what I'm talking about.
From the front on, the single slat grill looks great.
His signature picture though is from the side, and I think the side profile shows how the single slat grill can look a bit awkward on the early R230.
