Very clean but IMO has that "there's something missing" look

Looks like a photo shop.. Look at the black around the edge, either way one more slat at the top and its a winner!! Been wanting something like that since i got my car

I dont believe that this is his actual grill, its intention was to see if people would like it. As the title says "Maybe"

Clean look.

Clean look.
That is correct. A couple more choices below:

What I had earlier:
(1)



or

(2)





(3) (bottom chrome strip removed)




or maybe even
(4)

I'm stuck between 2 and 3. Leaning towards 3 though.

I would do a solid color on each of the pieces. You know you will have to paint it from time to time due to chips and getting the tape on and off is a pain in the ***. I want a grill that helps airflow.

If I had to choose one I'd choose (3). I'm not sure I'm liking that look too much though. It seems that something is missing as it has been said before...

#3 is what I did on mine about 3 yrs ago. I left the vertical slat in the middle chrome and feel it gets rid of the "something missing" look.

On a black car, the stock grill looks best, IMHO.

If it's prepped right, it should stick. Mine is painted and it hasn't chipped yet.

To the OP, I like the original one that you posted the most.

It figures you would be the one mentioning the AMG badge. I'm kidding, by the way.
