I was bored!

So I had time to waste so I did the Clay bar, compound, wax and painted my fog light chrome trim black, repainted my amber lights black and painted my back up grille black. Right now the grille is drying so it is not attached to the car. Plus I am waiting for my new center caps to come in. I am debating on taping my chrome window and door trim black if i do that i should be painting my entire grille and chrome star black.. hmm need some opinions Enjoy!

Looks fantastic! If you're keeping the chrome on the trunk than keep the chrome on the grill.

I'm biased seeing as I have an all black grill :P but your car would look good either way.

w204 - 350 N other white cars
Spec, i know u r itching for a little different look complimenting your baby as i have seen your car transform to a nice lookin ride. my personal taste is to black out the grill n leave the star chrome. cover your trunk chrome trim with maybe carbon fiber to play off your cf diffuser? if not cf then vinyl or paint it black? good luck n keep us posted!

Car looks beautiful with the exception of the yellow fogs that really throw it off a little and do not match the theme (I know, everyone has an opinion). It seems the whole "murdered out" theme is a younger crowd favorite and very popular these days (Everyone is doing it on the CTS forum) but it is all about what you personally like, your car looks very nice, going a little too far may change that...?

I know you are an intelligent guy (wearing a Yankees cap proves that) so do what you want...I would leave some chrome in the grill to keep it "richer" looking, but must admit, Tank's car looks pretty F'in badass too!

I am loving the black fog surrounds. I have to put on my Lamin-x also so I may just paint the surrounds.
