lorinzer front.. shatz grille.. small star... grill ewas painted by my body guy... black .. then cleared with a very tough durable clear... start piece was removed prior to paint and replaced when finished... he masked the black plastic that was already there and painted the chrome. cost about $100 bucks.. but he gave me a deal as he was doing a bunch of work for me.. masking the piece is the *****.. BUT IT LOOKS UNREAL>>> BEST BLK CLK LOOK I HAVE SEEN... makes the car look like that batmobile coupled with the lorinser spoiler

I have to say, I didn't like the grille star on the silver cars but it looks good on black. Do you have the smaller star? That might be it too.

well... you just need the3 shatz small star grille and bring it to a pro body guy and get hime to paint and clear the grille... prob between 15 to 200 bucks... and of course the lorinzer kit just makes it look badass a ton more... that will run you some dough... a couple of G...

i also have the chrome handle covers on the black car.. bought em on ebay.. they look *****in on black... the small chrome highlights here and there make the car come together.. chrome surrounds around mirrors as well...

i just need 19 inch rims... i think black could finish the look beautifully
