omg BEAUTIFUL!
I was thinking of a black/anthracite rim with chrome lips, but I think the above look is FAR superior. F'ing ELITE.
The only thing, though, is that I'd leave the brakes black to keep that monochrome look.
Man... I can't control my drooling. It's spilling all over my keyboard right now.
Wow.

Here are a few more pics. Better than before but not great. Unfortunately best buy still has my camera so this is the best I could do. Tell me what you guys think

Still not feeling it, the star now looks like it is part of one of those Taiwan Grill replacements that you see on older Mercs. As far as the painting & tinted lenses and such better off leaving those styling cues to Civics & Eclipses and such. I feel like you somewhat ruined a beautifully brand new car. You do realize if you sold it in it's current state expect to take $12K off the car net actual depreciation and only a used car lot would even want it. I'm not getting on you, you simply asked for everyones opinion. I'm one that finds the W204 sport perfect entirely stock. Yeah I would change the tires eventually to something more appropriate and likely get the glass tinted but aside from that anything above and beyond looks cheap.

i love the grill
my question is my car is black, how hard would it be for them to get the color of the grill to match the car exactly?? Does anyone know. I would leave the Chrome star, and possibly the chrome slats.
On a side not does anyone know how we can black out the chrome around the windows? Powdercoating? Any idea?
This is a great place, I look forward to reading this site everyday.
all the best

Thanks guys for the kind words. Those subs were taken out of my CLK 430 which sounded amazing in that car but with the MM package/logic 7, the sound quality is horrible in the C. I'm selling those subs to a friend and going to go with one 12' with a custom box and a lower power amp like 300W I think for a crisper sound. I just want that hard hit from the subs you know? If the new system is still less than steller, I'm going to take that out too. The sound system with MM is amazing and all I was looking for was a bit more thump.

Subs are coming out before returning it. I asked my sales rep if I am able to return the car with blacked out lights and grill and he said I won't have any problems.

I think they just paint it like they did the chrome on my grill.
