If you like the matte look, cheapest way is plasti dipping! That's what I did with my old grille, I'm gonna put it on soon.

The car is nice man. The rims sit nice. What size are they? I am planning to purchase a CL 500 next week and may mirror your rims.

REAR ROTOR UPGRADE
Ok finally got to install my rotors. Looks Great! finally matches my front with the look i'm going for. Painting calipers black next and installing my brembo logo's up front. Might just paint my diffuser flat black too.

Enjoy!

Not bad at all .... i always think rear discs look too small, mine included !! ... lovin the deep dish look on those rims at the back
a contrasting colour for your calliper would look good

You have to clean that rust inhibitor. You can't leave it on on the rotors If you leave it on, it will coat your brake pads and they won't seat properly. Clean of the rust inhibitor and clean it with brake cleaner. You can use a steel wool to make the process easy.

I like your painted OEM grill way more than the CL girl. I'm looking for a spare one so I can remove the vertical bar and leave the rest and paint it black chrome and gonna do the chrome accents on the impact strips black chrome too. Maybe I'll do the headlight housing too when I do my FX-R retrofit.

That OEM grill in black looks very good IMO. I prefer it to the grill with the large starmark in the middle. Very nice mods done to that car!
