Newest "sport grille" opinions
So in general, I'm not a fan of the sport grille on our cars. But this one looks a little different. They're calling it an e63 style grille. I installed a flat badge, and still have the stock grille. My stock grille is looking a little shabby, so I plan on getting a replacement soon. I'm torn on this grille, like I said, I normally don't like ANY sport grilles I see on our car...but this one may be acceptable. Unfortunately I can't find any pics of it ON the car. What say you?

I agree with you. I'm generally not a fan of these on W210's and some other models. This one does however look better than previous versions. Without seeing it on a car, it is difficult to say if it is different enough to look considerably better. I still think the star may be way too big and overpowering.

Thanks Armani. But this "newer" style grille is quite different still. I'm not convinced I'll like it. I think I'll paint my stock one to match my wheels. If I don't like it, not a biggie as my stocker is kinda beat up as it is, so I'll just buy another avantgard grille...thanks to all who replied!

I'll trade you for Intel I noticed that you have bought AMG pedals. Which ones did you buy on Ebay? I almost purchased one last night as they would go nicely w/my new carpets.
Regarding the LED's I purchased this pair from Amazon so far eh.. It's ok not a lot of light/throw but they go nicely with the FXR projectors and LED city lights. I still haven't found the perfect fog lights yet- It's been hit or miss.
Here is the link for Amazon:
For the city lights I bought those from IJDM. I bought LED bulbs for the license plate, LED for all interior cabin as well (even the bulbs beneath the door). I hate the yellowish light look. Just makes everything look older....

I got the pedals from a vendor found here in the forum: JB Speed. I paid $65.00 for them, back in September 2013, and they've been holding up very well since then!
Thanks for the Amazon link- I feel the same way about the yellowish light!

Blackout grille
Found this blackout sport grille on a W212. I think blackout looks better.
