As far as the grill surround, yes they where expensive. I purchased a used X350 grill and modified it with some PVC that was the same inner diameter of the badge. Beveled the edge and cut the grill and epoxied it in. Used mesh for the grill inserts. As for the pic. I have since replaced the lower grill with a stock one so I would have the chrome but insterted the mesh in it.
