Anybody have pics of Steel Grey with black grille?

Hey all,

I'm new to Mercedes and to this forum but I've been seeing that a TON of people are blacking out their grille (w/ or w/o blacking out the Mercedes star). I think I'd like to try it out but I'm not sure how it'll look on my Steel Gray C300 Sport 4MATIC.

Does anybody have this setup (Steel Gray with blacked out grille)? Also, if anybody has pics of Steel Gray with nice smoked headlamps or side markers I'd love to see those too...trying to decide if I like the look or not.

Thanks!

Thanks HotelCrazy! I saw that pic in another thread and saw pretty sure it was Steel Gray but since I'm new I wasn't sure. I love the yellow fogs...did you stain the lenses or just buy yellow ones? Sorry for all the newbie q's!

Those are really nice pictures, but Steel Grey looks different in person than in those pictures.

Thanks for this! I'm trying to decide if I want to dip the MB star also or just the grille slats.
