Black grill?

I plasti dipped my grill and I am not loving the look. Not a fan of the matte look so I used the gloss and it still doesn't look right to me. Anyone know where to buy a black gloss grill for a 2008 E63? I'm looking for comments from someone who actually owns one I don't need help searching the net.

Can't help on where to find one, but would like to see pictures if you don't mind, both of the plastidip and if you find a gloss black one.

I recently had a flat black Ebay one from China painted gloss black. I hated how the bare plastic looked. A friend did it for me for $150.

the grill finally arrived. It is all plastic but high quality. I'd give the fitment a 9.5/10 with the only issue being it sticks out further towards the bottom.

I wish i could say i like the black grills on anything other than a black car but for me an my opinion it looks out of place on any other color car. But if you like it thats all that matters brother

Interesting... it looks nothing like the one posted on the website you bought it from. The one on the website is more of a gloss and has the MB emblem on it as well.

Mine is plasti-dipped as well. Can't find the high gloss grill I used to have on my old E63. Thinking I will just get one painted.

Looks killer on black. Don't really feel it on the silver though.

Agreed with you there, but I think it looks out of place on all of them. I think the stock chrome (which has black accents inside) is so much more classy and flows with the car much better.

Nice. I have mine plasti dipped and it gets annoying to have to redo it every now and then.I may have to pick this up along with a black hood star.
