The grill is not shown on that site I mentioned. Contact Dxc for details, pics and pricing which is very reasonable for an all aluminum grill.


trying to get it for you fast (I am waiting for mine and others as well ) Typically they are in-stock items, but just wrong timing. ALL SOLD (both in Japan and in US) after we pushed this product in the US We are re-making them (available in Chrome and Black Chrome).

why would some one even think of putting a s-class style grill on a ls....if anything s-class people should be trying to look like the ls. even a chevy metro is more reliable than most mercedes.

What the hell does reliability have to do with an aftermarket grill? By the way does the LS430 have a slight resemblance to the 140 series Mercedes S class?

I think it looks great. Personally I would not do a MB grill, and I am surprised I don't see many aftermarket grills for the LS at all. It might be fun to have a different grill, but maybe something more like the Lexus grill, like without the "L" or something completely different.

The black chrome version of that would be enough of a departure from the regular MB grill to look different.
