i say you should keep the stock chrome...too much black on black cars doesn't look that great.

Well, I'm not murdering out my car. I'm leaving all the stock chrome trim on my car except i've 3m CF'ed my clk grill (except for the star). The chrome trim on the headlights sticks out so much now.

Also, I need to replace my right headlight because my hid bulb came lose and burnt a hole in the housing so I figured while the headlight was out I might as well just paint the housing black.

I just can't seem to find a used 2007/c55 headlight anywhere and I don't want to get raped by the stealership...damnit.
