    well, i think everybody has the right to do whatever they want to do on their car, even if its a ford .... and you don't have to like em either... just keep an open mind, smile and make your opinion...

    personally i think i higher grade "chicken wire" and either a clear coat or some paint would set it off nicely.

    i could see myself doing something slightly similar, but still very different.....

    i do think it is very ironic that someone who said cutting springs is bad/ghetto/horrible (with incorrect info on it's ACTUAL effects) would hack up some chickenwire for his grille and then cut a slot in it for the hood release!

    it's back to stock and the top half of the intake is on. if any of the people who actually liked the mod would like the mesh, i'll send it to you for the cost of shipping.

    updated picture of my big happy MB family.


    and Lewda, I'm not sure you really have the right to determine who deserves a Mercedes. I'm only 22, and I figure I'm doing pretty well If I can say I own one right out of college, even if it is just an entry level owned by a bunch of keyboard jockeys.

    most of it was my own opinion, and im not being totally serious when i say you shouldnt own a mercedes, of course anyone is gonna do what they want to do to their own cars, ive owned a mercedes since i was 18, and have been driving one since i was 16. i too am 22, but aside from this one, the last couple of mercedes ive owned have been a '73 280 SE 4.5 and a 86 190 im more centered into a classic mean clean german look... yeah sure like i said people are gonna do what they wanna do to their cars, it still upsets me most of the time that people have these nice cars, spend the money, then ruin the car with their tacky 2 dollar modifications...

    black it out... you may be able to get away with it...other wise just paint ur original with or with out the " lines" and call it done, i think that would look great if your looking to do a cheap mod, know what i mean?


    P.S i like the brand Kameii or how ever u spell it, but on a VW or AUDI. i actaully thought why dont they make one for Benz or BMW...but i have come to the conclusion theres prob a reason why. this is a prim example, all u would have to do is stick a Kameii badge on there and your good.
