He went ahead and opted for the gray market Benz grill that bolts right on, had it all debadged and painted Mercedes Silver... then put the Mercedes G-500 wheels on it.

im finding that im a better service tech than i am a business owner. although ive owned businesses before, until i grow to the point of hiring employees im having a lot of trouble working all day in the field, and then all night in the office.
