anybody know where to buy black grill? I can't one anywhere!

Been searching on ebay and through google. Nothing.

I've rather buy one pre-painted and professionally done than do it myself.

Also looking to put the 3M stoneguard protection wrapping as to avoid small debris and rock chips.


Where can I find a black grill? I DO NOT want the grill with the star in it, that looks hideous, IMHO. I want the factory W211 grill in a black finish ...

THANKS!

You can try getting like carbofiber film and wrap it and it will look like that. I tried wrapping by myself, but I failed big time

If you dont have prior experience wrapping, i suggest you dont even try because you will fail.
Theres also another aspect to it, if you do a cf grille, you will soon be spending countless benjamins on other cf parts to match the look

totally agree, happend with me I went to local body shop and they refused to wrap it for me. Not much we can spend to get cf parts. Carbonfiber wrap grill and Euroteck front spoiler combo looks very good, imho.

Karlson, have you seen where to buy flat/matte black film for auto purposes? I seem to not be able Google the right words to return a site that is either the right stuff or a place I can trust.

If the car is black I think a gloss black looks better personally, with that being said I bought a grill off of Ebay and had it wrapped Gloss Black. Total cost of mod $120 and I keep my OEM original grill and have a OEM wrapped. Well worth it for the look, I dont feel like people think I am driving my dads car

Will you give me his name and number, I want to see if he knows anyone in Atlanta that can do the same. If not, I will send him a grill to wrap for me..

If you have time to post some more detailed pictures in the light that would be great. It seems like this would be better than dealing with painted grill that might chip over time?

Thanks
