They said there is nothing out but I wrote the name of the site down and gave it to him along with my user ID hopefully he will join.

I think the wald grill would look sweet on Benz car... but CCColts, man i love how your car looks with the JDM oem theme i think the wald kit would be a step down from what you already have. havin said that, the front wald lip looks like it'd suit the oem rear and sides fairly well for people that already have the oem kit.

I don't know how the WALD grill would look on my car though, i mean, doesn't the line in the middle of the grill look kinda weird?

the mugen kit does look fairly serious/peformance styled but the way your car is at the moment you dont have to go full pimp or full performance look - sounds like you'd prefer something in between. Make your car look how you want it to! don't conform to a particular style

I kinda do want to give people the feel like, DAMN, that car is pimp....but at the same time, screams perfromance

but don't discount the grill we get here in a australia, it actually suits the mugen kit really well (Tweigh's car from ozhonda.com):
even if you have this grill for the mean time while you try and source something a bit more unique - i'm sure you could find one fairly cheap.
I just don't think many grill's will suit the mugen kit that well besides the actual mugen grill or something oem. The pond grill and backup grill just don't seem like they'd mesh to me

yep im a huge fan of Advan, ssr and works wheels - go for them over volks - especially if they got a style you like. I love the SSr rype C's, work emotion cai and advan TCII and RGII all so damn nice

I might get the Mugen grill to try it on and see, but, send me a PM when you are selling your grille man!

A lot of people can see massive rims and think a car is fast because "shit look how big its rims are! must be serious about performance" haha when in reality lightweight and wide 17" would be better for actual performance.

BUt you can't really blame them, because look at all the high performance cars, they are equipped with big rims, M3= 18", M6= 19" , Ferraris = 19" i think...
I like the Works cai, kinda looks like euro R, that's wht i wanted Volks GT-V, but ya, VOlks is too common. I am getting into Advan and SSR and Works now. I am kinda into the Mesh style all along, but the mesh doesn't look good with our car, and not many people like it. But now, SCREW OTHER PEOPLE< i might get mesh style because i just love it!! I know both Advan, SSR, and work has them. Advan has 38+ offset, so might not fit, i duno about SSR, but Work ones will fit!

i'm pretty sure you can get SSR's to fit the euro and some advans should too, just a matter of finding the correct width and offset i guess. I've become a big fan of the SSR rims lately, especially their forged wheels.

I still think the mugen is the best way to go, even if other people do have it at least your not mix and matching (getting the whole kit mugen). I might be selling my grill within a month or two so i'll keep you posted.
