Questions... Please help...

I need a new grill. Anyone know who has the best quality CL style grill? I would assume OEM CL grills dont fit? Would a Black or silver grill look better on my 03 silver?

Euro Bumper strips or properly painted (primered and painted) sidemarkers?

E63 OEM Spoiler or replicas? I have a brilliant silver, seems like I will have to get it re-painted regardless b/c mbenzl doesnt have brilliant silver ones.

E63 Taillights VS. 2007 taillight... Should I even do these? ARe the E63 tails a little smoked out compared to the regular 2007 ones?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated

OEM CL grills do not fit. ALL the aftermarket ones I've seen are of poor quality IMO.

Euro anyday. They cost about $200, so why fake it?

E63 OEM Spoiler or replicas? I have a brilliant silver, seems like I will have to get it re-painted regardless b/c mbenzl doesnt have brilliant silver ones.
I like the feel of the OEM over knock offs. Neal posted some of his knock offs and he can tell you if they are good quality. I do trust what he says on that. True, you will need to paint either way. I can speak to the Mercedes 3 piece fin that formymercedes also carries. I have had both. The MB one just feels GOODD!!

E63 Taillights VS. 2007 taillight... Should I even do these? ARe the E63 tails a little smoked out compared to the regular 2007 ones?
The added tint is slight. Why not just have your '07s tinted?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated
Good luck

what do you think of Neal's knock-offs??? LOL.

Figured if I wanted to buy a pair, just buy a set thats already done so I dont have to do anything else with it.
