What do we think of chrome headlight trim?

ordinarily, I'm not into extra chrome, as my sport model is less chromed than a non-sport, but the proximity to the new chrome grille has me up in the air about the headlight chrome: is it classy or beans-and-ricey?

I think it's for people trying hard for attention, if anything just do the eyelids!

EDDIEO! i wouldnt go for the chrome...our sports dont have the chrome trim moldings or anything chrome other than the necessary stuff (hood ornament,star on the trunk,and the model # C280) i thought about it too but then i just thought that it would look tacky, but thats only my opinion...then i thought of buying them painting them the color of the car and putting them on but that would almost be pointless...but it is your car and if its what you like more power to ya'!!

I agree with Mario. I think the eyelids add the right touch.

A CLK up near my University has the chrome headlight trim. Its a silver car and doesnt really stick out. On darker cars though it might look a little bit out of place. Just my oppinion though!

its a bit too 'ott' if you ask me, looks okay on on E's and CLK's but that about it.
