Grilles

[MikeD]

I finally decide to get an avantgarde grill and went with the strange variant with 4 horizontal fins on it. Any opinions on this one versus the standard 5 fin avantgarde grill everyone seems to have? How is the quality on the other one?

Please excuse all the bugs and missing corner light lens...

Looks good. Better than my ebay cheapo

Too much gap in my opinion...

So the 5 fin ebay ones are low quality?

[Sulaco]

Very low quality.

[MikeD]

Wow. They really look like they'd be made out of decent materials. The one that I have pictured above feels much lighter than the OEM grille, but as a result it also feels kind of cheap. I wonder if the OEM avantgardes were like this...

[Sulaco]

I've read the oem avant garde grilles were very high quality.

I like it, it looks good, but I'd be very careful parking next to the beat-up Honda......LOL

Yes. I have heard and seen the same.

[svt ricco]

Very low quality.
Very true...

Mike D I am digging that grille man, What kind of headlights are those? I've been looking to switch the OEM ones with some projectors. I ordered a set off ebay that said they'd be compatible with my 98 c230 and it was completely wrong and had to return them...Any good sites I can get a legit set for a legit price?

[wichipong]

looks ok... maybe im just used to the 5 slat one....

[MikeD]

Thanks for the input everyone!

I purchased mine off of ebay as well. They're made by Option Racing but have been discontinued. Just about every site that claims to have them is lying though. I have too many cancelled transaction emails to prove that...

I gave mine away. They're a piece of crap.

Yeah different headlights for this vehicle seem next to impossible to find. I think I will just smoke my headlights for a different look.
