New to Forum - Need some tips on mods!

Hi -

Brand new to MB, in case you couldn't tell by my handle.

New addition is a 2010 E63 AMG - Black on Black. First 2 mods I'm looking to do are as follows:
  • New Grill (Painted High Gloss Black)
  • Flat Emblem Badge
I did a few searches and there are clearly many options. My main concern is the grill. Looks like many options for an E350 grill on eBay. What's good and what is not? And who are vendors I could consider for a flat badge that's quality?

Thanks for everyone's help. Looking forward to being a member.

Thanks for the compliments. Where should I get my grill and flat badge from, gents? Can't have the car looking like stock.

Nice Iforged! I have the same 20s on my E55! Same model, color and all! Look great! Get a white star flat badge from DFdude! You will not find better quality. I had a local shop do my grill black and was one of the best mods I have done.

Actually, they're not iForged. They're Radenergie R10's with custom painted graphite centers and polished lips. But yes, they are 20's.

I need to find a replacement grill, but there are so many on eBay. Any suggestions or links of a good replacement? Once I get it, I'll have my body shop guy do all the work on painting and touching up the little things here and there (reflectors, lights, etc.). However, first I want to do the grill and badge. Thanks for the badge info. I will contact him. Just need to find a good source to get the right grill. eBay had so many choices, it made my head spin.
