4 wheeled car.
Bro, I drive a Ford Crown Victoria every day. The grill on my CVPI looks absolutely nothing like the CF grill on my MB... Nothing.
And GF I tried every way to get my grill to fit. The holes do not match up at all. I can get one in. If I have to force it to the point of almost breaking it, that's not a good fit.

Sucks about the grill... after seeing the post below, it doesn't look right

Oh yes, too bad you made a bad purchase on the Crown Vic grille. Are you in the market for a Blue Oval to go on your vehicle?

Hmm. I just bought a flat star for the hood, but this is such a nice emblem ...

Nice to see DCT stepping up. Mine has all the threads, the two on the right just will not line up. The one in the pic above is a mess, looks melted. REally love this idea, but i guess we will never get the look of the Brabus CLS grille..

about the carbon grill
I test fit the production run grills
The molding and shape is ok, but the thread holes don't line up with all 6 holes on metal hood. it is impossible to hold the grill by the bolts we provided but I managed to use the original tapping screws tighten the 5 holes securly!
I will improve this on our design and overcome this problem soon and buyers can not accept the fitment, please PM me for return and refund!
This is our first time try to make a grill with firberglass molding and by checking the design or Mercedes OEM grill, we now understand why MB designed using clips and screws, it provide the clips in a "floating" positions and can allow the screws hold the grill with more tolerance! again we tried to provide products to the community but still need some experiences and trials to make products better! thank you for the support and PM me for the follow ups!

finally installed mine over the weekend but using the bolts provided, it went in fine. I didnt use the 2 bolts on the outer edges of the grill but you dont need them as it is in there nice and tight. Finish is excellent and is straight without curves or blemishes. Whether I got an updated grill from the first batch Im not sure but I would highly recommend to anyone that likes the look.

Forum member The Godfather made this request about 3 months ago and we send 2 grills back to our factory and made this carbon grill! We already have the mold so we can produce whatever Qty needed! We are thinking put a honeycomb mesh behind since it looks kind of hollow from the front! let us know what you think and we are taking order right now for $249 + shipping for first 10 sets!
I was wondering if you happen to have one of these grills available still or could make me one ? I’m happy to pay asking price via PayPal etc if you wanted to inbox /dm me etc , I have spent the past week searching for this exact grill to fit my e55 and cannot find any available and I have to have one on my car , it’ll need to be shipped to Australia and I’m also happy to cover the shipping ontop of the cost of the grill cost of it , I’ll try contact you guys via a International phone call if need be , please let me know as soon as possible when it becomes available to purchase I absolutely love the look of this , it doesn’t need to be carbon fibre if that’s easier and less time consuming , I had a very similar styled grill on my w294 wagon and it was my favourite part of the car aesthetically
