I'm still waiting for the OEM grill to get back...
from the painter. They are doing the C/F treatment like on my star grill. I'd like to have the option of having both...change of pace. Meanwhile, I added another couple of faux C/F touches and had the heat exchanger painted black...

The before picture...after picture coming soon...


Before:

After:



I'm still kind of torn...I've got another base for the AMG flat hood emblem that I'm getting painted gloss black and I ordered another AMG affalterbach badge that I'm going to try out...like the one below...



I also got the illuminated side sills redone...
