SL STYLE 1 FIN GRILLE ON CLS
You folks like this 1 fin SL style grille or should I keep the 2 fins grille. I'm leaning towards putting back the 2 fins. I'll give it a couples more week to see if it grows on me.

With your color white the 1 fin grill looks and a lot better than the 2 fin.
How did you get the 1 fin? Can you share it with us. I too have a white beast.

The thickness of the surround framing the 3 pointed star is not as thin and even as the original SL grill - at first glance, I thought photoshop, but I guess it is a knockoff of the original. The CLS sport grill looks better

The one fin looks too soft. For a second I thought the car looks was an older SLK. Needs to look a little more agressive in my opinion since it's such a big car.

It is starting to. I think if I get the Carlson front lip it will look much better giving the front end more volume. I like the simple/clean look of it creating a cleaner line. It actually looks better in person than in the picture. I'll see once I get the lip whether to put back the 2 fins or 3 AMG fins style. I agreed it doesn't look as aggressive but that's not what I'm going for, otherwise I will just keep the black rim and tinted my rear lights etc..

FYI I just ordered and received the Carlson knockoff lip from ebay. Quality looks pretty good and it was $200 delivered. Gonna have it painted and mounted this week. I found a good guy on Sepulveda south of Roscoe that is a Benz repair and paint shop. He blacked out my grill for $150 and did a great job.
Let me know if interested in getting a lip as I have been in contact with the ebay seller and told him if it looks good I may have a couple people interested on the boards.

1-Bar Grilles for the CLS are marketed through 55 Tech Motors and they have it in white with chrome front edges http://www.55tech.com/index.php?main...roducts_id=365 but are sold by the same folks (jakuo) on ebay at about half the price as the 55 Tech web site: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/W219-...item3ef7c9f4f7. I bought the AMG Style 3-Bar Grille in Silver color on Ebay from them and am very happy with the fit and quality. The grille is made of plastic, not fiberglass.

Hey AP - I bought the single fin grill, but I haven't put it on yet. Where did you get the 2 fin grill and how much did you pay? Another nice option to have.
I just put on the clear corners and chrome bulbs, and its noticeable difference, looks great now. I was thinking of putting the illuminated door sills as well has anyone done this on a CLS?
Car is at the dealer now. When I get it back I;m going to take some pics and post. Its been sooo crappy outside lately!

Hey guys, I have the single fin grill for sale, same one as pictured on this thread for $120 bucks shipped. I paid $160 for it plus shipping. Brand new, never installed. I opened the box though, and showed my wife and she doesn't want me to change the grill from OEM, since its her car. So I have to sell it. PM me if interested. It comes with an original OEM mercedes star. I will list this on EBAY as well if this helps thanks guys.
