*C350* painted grill and side marker

i just recently had my grill painted and side markers painted black. i was wondering, what do you guys think of painting the chrome around the fog lights? i was thinking of getting them done, but the chrome also matches well with the chrome grill. tunetime had it done but he took out all the chrome. opinions would be much appreciated. Thanks

leave the fog light chrome. it matches a lot better. when everything is all murdered out, it makes it look cheap.

Keep the chrome around the fogs. Compliments the other front end chrome.

Grille looks great, I'd leave the fogs like they are. Maybe smoke them and your headlights or something.
