Let me know how it turns out. I am looking for a gloss black grill, I am not sure if this one has enough gloss to it though?

Buy this, take to paint shop, they will scuff and clear for around $50-$100

It would look great. I am going to get one and color match to Tecite Grey and clear it. I hope to go a shade darker for contrast. Ill just have them add a little black to the stock paint.. or a tint in the clear

Just purchased one. I was going to just paint mine, but it is dinged and dented. If this doesn't workout for me, I'll just spray mine with plasti-dip and call it good. Time will tell.

These grilles are first rate. I've had mine, purchased from the same seller, on my car for over two years now without issue. Love the look.

Takes a minute to swap, like 6 screws in the back of the grille.

Is there a write up on the forum? Sounds complicating.

WOW, this is Amazing !!!
I have been offering a PERFECT black grille for the Same price, with people telling me its worth $25-60.

LOL this one is offered at $150 and 12+ people jump on the bandwagon to order it.....
You ****** folks are something else !!!
I'm throwing my grille in the trash as we speak. Have a great day.

Oh yea please remember, 55's are better than 63s which have no low-end torque, similar to a 1982 Ford Taurus !!! Mercedes is very ashamed of their mistake, they may even sell the company to TATA motors for $5 whole dollars in the first week of 2011. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

I am confused, you want $250 for your grill and these people are selling their part for $150? What am I missing here

I lowered the price, and had private deals with multiple people working - now I realize you cannot see those, and didn't think about that fact before posting my previous comment. (So maybe it didn't quite make sense.? Forgot it was done through PM !!!)

Price Between amounts of $75 and $150 at that time. However No One ever followed thru. Then later, I ended up getting something to the effect of "After doing some research I feel the grille is only worth $40, etc"

Notice stupid comments in my thread.... "$50 HAHA" - being one
Also note MCHAPPARONE sold his grille (exact same) for $250.

The guy that offered me $150 in the thread (one of last comments) Which I FULLY agreed immediately to - after about 10 days, finally offered me $35 shipped I believe it was !!
I don't give a damn about the grille & it's truly not amount the money, mainly was trying to help a fellow forum member out with a nice quality product.
Thus, I threw the grille in trash can earlier. ///Thread closed.

Anyone know where I can get a black grill? I contacted this seller and all they have left are ones that have some paint issues....probably really hard to powder coat the plastic.

JPohl: I would have bought yours if I had seen it. Why trash something you can sell? I'm sure someone here will buy it for a reasonable price.

Trying to sell things on the forums suck, and I have been tempted to throw things in the trash as well. Unless you charge 30% - 50% of what new would cost, you never get anywhere. That is just the way it is
