Does anyone have a source for these overlays? Are they easy to put on? Any tricks you learned would be appreciated.

Thanks

No tricks to putting them on... they come with an adhesive and there is sticky tape attached as well... they are hard resin or plastic Chromed. Trust me, if "I" can do it, anyone can....

LOL Deb

Where can I get the maybach grille? Will it fit a 2000 sClass 220 body? What is the cost?

Another possible option is Brabus sells an OEM type grille but with no STAR for the current M Class. that Grille may be able to be cut down to fit.
Where can you get that grille for $137?

I like the autoxclusive overlay it matches the horizontal flow or the hood badging.

ronhatchett,

this is the same grille I have been supplying to forum members for the last two years. I also offer it in a black powdercoat.

Polished upper is $189 plus S&H, lower pair $89 plus S&H.

Certainly not hand made or custom.

After seeing yours at the Dragon on your SSB model I knew it was what I wanted to.
