What you really need to do is remove the "wing" and star in the middle of the grill. If the mesh doesn't extend all the way across pull that out too and have someone make you a new one that does.
Not a fan of the fake carbon fiber sticker, however. The SLS deserves better than that.

I think it would be better served buy real carbon fiber grill, side vents and hood vents. Plus those stickers are hell on the paint under, and with part of the paint exposed to sun the faint fade would be noticable.

Steel Grey 2012 ML350 is wife's
Although I normally don't care for red cars, your Le Mans red SLS with the CF is very-very attractive and sporty.
I think the grill is excellent with the star appearing to float.
Why did you choose to not carry the CF stripe down beyond the rear window, excluding the wing?
Do I understand that you applied (clear) VentureShield on top of the entire hood and roof, not just only under the CF stripes.. and if so, you probably did the entire surface area of your SLS (in VentureShield)?

I wanted to extend the stripe all the way back to the trunk, but that would've lloked ugly if I wanted to wrap the wing.
So that's why I stopped at the roof and wrapped the wing.

You think I'm jealous based on my negative comment? So were I jealous when I told you in the past that I think the SLS are UGLY but the SL63 are so BEAUTIFULL !!! Just move on and be happy. Do what ever you want to do to your car just like I've done to my lousy Clk.
