Cool Grille and Rims

I think I am going to black out the grill and try and find a way to get rid of the chrome accents in the bumpers. I prefer the clean black look rather than having chrome strips in the bumpers.
Thanks for the photoshop jobs guys!

As far as the wheels. If anyone is serious, I found these for sale on ebay. 19" Titan Grey AMG Mercedes 2-PC double spoke wheels. They are being sold with the Pilot Sport A/S Tires which I would ask to be swapped for the PS2. Package it pricey but they look great. I'm getting them in the summer.

The Grille is not all black, but the Merc Logo built in is the best around, big and beefy and very high quality. Also highly recommend their Aluminum Door Pins (ask for ones with AMG logo) and Aluminum Pedals.

I appreciate the info but I have come across that grill already... It is a little too much for my tastes. I actually dont like seeing the big Merc emblem in the grill like that and prefer the more subtle look.
Thanks anyways.

The second reason is that a tech. at CEC (which is a pretty damn good bodywork shop) was telling me how incredibly hard it is to paint those strips let alone take them off. Make sure you find someone good to do it if you get it done. Other than that, good luck and I can't wait to see it!
