timmynabenz: those euro impact strips are the one on your sig?? it removes the side markers?
Tints are also on the list, but i'm not decided yet, if I want them mercedes blue (like mercedes blue glass trademark), or black.

that is my though, it could look ricer... and I don't want that, plus local shops quote me a lot more for the blue one, because they don't have it on stock.
Definately yours looks cleaner without the sidemarkers...

^^ also take a look at getting just the clear plastic lens cover, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/C-CLA...Q5fAccessories
it turns it to clear instead of the amber, i personally like it a little more than the euro impact strips, and they were only about 25-30$ on ebay, altho the euro strips are sexy too
and yeah really nice grille
