my new grille

So I have searched high and low for the coveted Schatz grille. Getting shocking quotes of under $400, I decided to go my own way






comments welcome

It looks amazing. What did you pay for it?

After all that custom fab work i think i may have removed the lipped border on the innermost side of the frame.

It gives it a really nice look and i love the fact you left it chromed.

I wouldnt hack it off, just add some metal onto it to create a smooth slope transition from the middle edge.

beautifull grill,.. where would one find that grill for sale? I looked at Germanstar but coulnd't find that one. I recently attached the Mercedes leaf emblem on the hood of the car and i'm looking for a plain grill with no badges on it. this one would be perfect..

I think the grille badge along the top/front portion would make it look complete. As it is, the big/wide chrome area along the top/front seems overpowering.
Ons second thought, it could just be your pics because the glare along the top of the grille obscures where the front stops and the top begins.

I like it a lot. I'm thinking of an new grill for the 2.6. I also like looking through the star... probably why we all have several grilles.
