I don't understand blacking everything out a hiding the features and design of the car. (At least that's what happens when I look at an all black and blacked out vehicle.) But if you are going to go for black and black out, why not go all the way: ultra black.

Eh, to some of us chrome looks tacky and garish.

I had mine wrapped but it never looks as good as something that was finished in glass black as part of its formfactor. The nice part about moving to a replacement grill is you can add the front camera yours didnt come with it from the factory.

plus, if you look at this one, it also finishes the star housing in gloss black too rather than the factory ABS plastic.

now it makes sense as to why I don't see a difference. Mine are already tinted. If these were the Euro lights, I would be interested though!

great pic.

THE 2020 tail lights are not smoked at all , the inside is a way darker red and black , it accentuates the red light stripes , way better imo. You have to see them in real life, noticeable difference .

I decided to to go with black Chrome. As I did with all the emblems. I thought I’d try it myself, as the emblems turned out good. 3 coats on the emblems and 6 on the grill.

Haven’t thought about that yet. But may do in the future. There’s always seems something I can do. Then once I’m done I start another project. Winters are long here. Got to have something to keep me in the garage 😋

I did mine last weekend, but like Skilly said will not look as good as a gloss black paint job. I like all black, but make a poll on FB and almost all the votes went to OEM, my son OEM, GF vote OEM. I will leave it all black and then take it off in a couple of months to see what it feels to see the chrome accents again.

I might be interested in the tail lights. Will they work with the 17 GTS? Price?
