Best. Downgrade. Ever.

Don't know if this owner is on the ClubG forum, but if he or she is, please come out of the woodwork. I had no idea this was an option, but damn, it's stunning.

I found more pics on a Japanese site (g-trading.net)
In the pics you see the same grill on an early 463 and on a late 463

This badgeless look is similar to the Brabus style offered by a Russian ebay seller.

The price of the one in my link seems too low and makes me worry about build quality but I like the clean front look of both of these.
