New front end
I recently hit a deer on the highway going about 80mph. Needless to say, Bambi did some damage, 15k worth of damage. So I got an AMG front bumper, took apart the headlight assembly and painted the shroud black, and blacked out the grill. The shop was not supposed to paint the Chrome star in the grill. I think it needs to be chrome to break up all the black going on.
What Do you guys think??

I think it looks angry all blacked out. I want to paint the housings of my headlights, but dont want to tear my front end apart to get the headlights out and then potentially ruin them by taking them apart.

I think the blacked out star looks sweet with all the black going on in the front. But you know you paid for it so it is your call.

I'm a big fan of blacked out light reflectors and grills but I'd always keep the star chrome. I think the small chrome accents that remain on the headlights and the chrome star would compliment each other very well.
