*~*Stealth Auto - Blacked grills, Powerchip, DPE rims, Clear Lenses*~*
Hello board members!!~
I'm pleased to announce that Stealth Auto is now an MBWorld sponsor!! We will be retailing DPE rims, Powerchip software, Stealth bulbs which we manufacture, along with a bunch of other cool, high-quality accessories.
We currently have clear front lenses for all Mercedes vehicles including the following classes: C, CLK, CLS, E, S, SL, and SLK. To see them on our website CLICK HERE.
Stealth Auto also has blacked-out grills available for the C, E, and S-class. These grills have a durable matte-black finish and a perfect OEM fit. To see them on our website CLICK HERE.
Last but not least, we manufacture Stealth Bulbs that appear chrome but blink amber to eliminate the ugly egg-yolk appearance of stock amber bulbs. Our Stealth Bulbs are 100% DOT legal, made in the USA, and have a lifetime guarantee, even for burnouts. Just for reference the W211's take a 2357 in the headlight as do many other MBZ vehicles. To see them on our website CLICK HERE. Here are some images we took on a customer's car.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions, we'll be glad to help.

Real quick suggestion from a fellow small business guy, perhaps you should add where you are located in your sig if you do any work at your shop.
Like So Cali, San Fran etc...
If you are just mail order only, my apologies.

Yeah I wonder how that black out grill would look on my silver car with black wheels and the pano roof? Also I noticed you have 8000k HID bulbs, are they D2S and what are the lumens? Who makes the bulbs? Thanks in advance for answering.

Me too. Is it an OEM grill that is painted or has the ABS added to the base or is it all a 1 piece? I assume the color can't chip off, since it isn't even paint? I would like a price. Do you offer a four slat version for the E55 (W211)?

I bought that black grille and thought it looked kinda cheap. So I had it painted and clearcoated. The guys told me it was easy to paint and the fitment is good so all in all I like it. :2cents:

Hmm, not sure about painting over chrome. You'll have to ask some body shop guys bout that. 
EDIT - What I didn't like about the grille was the matte-black look...that's not what I was going for. I think I missed that part of the description before ordering. If you want matte-black then go for it.

Aside for the matte look, how was the fit and finish? Did it feel like an OEM grill? Or is it cheap feel / look material?

Not exactly like OEM but it seamed pretty solid. The fit was perfect though, all the gaps look OEM.

I sincerely thank everyone for the kind posts!~ What a warm welcome.. 
For all who asked, the black grills are currently on sale for $164.95.
Thanks for posting in our thread!!
I think a black grill would look sweet on your car, especially with black rims. In regards to our replacement HID bulbs, they're from a factory we've been working with, hand-in-hand, for the past few years. The bulbs are D2C and fit every stock HID system on the market. Of all the bulbs and companies we've dealt with we've found these to be the best, which is why we're private labeling them as our own in the very near future. Initially we were planning on releasing them once the labeling was complete but due to great demand we tossed them on the market prior to such. I will look into the lumens on the 8000k kit and should have an answer shortly.

I have another way you can think about it...
An OEM Mercedes grill will be $400+ and most secondary owners or dealerships prefer stock vehicles, unless they're car enthusiasts. In essence, you can swap in a black grill $165 now, save money in the long run when you sell or trade in the car, and ultimately sell the black grill in the end to make some money back. Also, painting your current grill would require you to drive around for a few days with no grill or simply park your car. Then in the end hope the paint holds and doesn't chip, which I'm sure it will given the part's location. With a matte black grill chips are non-existant, nearly impossible, due to the lack of a coating.

hehe, I've already hand painted my own grill and I have a few spares that I have torn up to design new styles. I get them for $250 at the dealer. also, I drive around without a grill all the time. I am not at all vain.
All that said, i am buying one of yours anyway. I just thought it would be a good marketing idea to give MBWorld people a little boost to build your loyalty base is all. $165 is not at all a bad price point.
Thanks for the reply and willingness to at least answer. I like you already!! Welcome and let's see some more products.
