before/after cls63.... opinions please

Hi folks... for the past couple of months i've been debating on whether i should black out my wheels, front grill, mirrors, rear spoiler. I was thinking of doing it all in matte black

Here are some pics :

I personally like the stock photo better, but to each their own.

Good Photoshop skills BTW

Do you want your ride to be a plain CLS or do you want it to have a bit of an edge? The blacking out def gives it an edge..one more vote for blacking it out

Everything looks great! I would skip on the mirrors personally but I would also do the roof in black. Just my 2 cents!

Paint the grille Matte black, leave the 3 pointed star in chrome. Leave the mirriors and the rims stock colors, I feel that would look the best.

Also, you could even leave the star and the horizontal chrome trim on the grille unpainted, that may look cool??
