IMHO it's too much, but I like things stock. However, I'm curious where it came from, I've never seen that grill before.

Ha ha. Pretty much what I thought. I made it here in my stainless shop. We have a laser and not much to do. I was trying to be a little creative with one of my old grills.

Not a chance on my car. You're gonna need some spinners and 20's a metallic flake paint job to make that thing work.

I think its different. If you like, go ahead and install it. I will definitely make your unique.

For some people it might be too much, but come on...

Personally I don't like it that much, but it's ok, I respect different opinions

Crapola...........

Not so much for the reason of "non stock" but that it has a "cluttered" appearance. IMHO, if you maintain clean lines, even with modifications, cars just look better, especially, with an MB sedan.

What I mean by clean lines is that when you see a car, you notice the entire car first then a slight change in the grill. With that grill, i'ts all you would see and worse, remember.

(Hint: Make the stars in the grill much, much, much smaller and see if that cleans it up.)

Pimp my 123

I do not think I need one of those just yet, but it got me thinking...what would have to be done to gin up a set of stainless headlamp doors to replace those cracking plastic ones on our 123's...looks like with your skill something may could be made that looks good and is durable....with the laser you could etch the lines to make them look very close....maybe..?

I thought about doing something with the lights. I just have not gotten a round to it yet.
