I like the black one, even the pictures in the links show the silver one is more shiny.

Hey guys another question. Would you guys get it in a gloss or satin finish? I know a member here have it in a gloss finish but I just can't seem to make up my mind. Any inputs appreciated. Thanks.

Gloss black, matte black is just mehhh unless you have more matte black to accent it.

I myself am about to gloss black wrap my front grille after seeing the picure in the thread where they just installed the white lip front spoiler. That white c300 has a black gloss grille as pictured. I am also thinking about doing the roof gloss black too (as I didn't get the pano roof option on the left over).

I was thinking gloss black too I just got an email from the vendor saying that the gloss black won't be in stock for another 2-3 weeks so I'm thinking whether it's worth the wait. My car is in palladium silver so I'm not too sure whether I should paint the roof gloss black or not.

I got my roof painted gloss black and it looks sick. Go for it.

I just need to get a good grill and some new shoes.

Tish, I would surely consider that as my upcoming mod. I'm gonna finish working on my lights and grill first.

Clk, I prefer the 1st one as well. It's just the matter of getting it in gloss or matte finish now. Thanks for showing me the SL grill but it's not my taste. Lol.

For you guys going gloss black, do you plan on painting the matte black plastic inside the star? The matte paint compliments the textured plastic area perfectly so just curious how you will handle that.

Which grill are you talking about? The stock or the CL-style ones mentioned above? If you're talking about the CL=style grill it comes in 2 finish. One in black paint and one in a satin finish (matte)
