Anyone get their front end re-done to remove the chips from rocks etc?
My car is two tone! Black with a grey lower lip from all that sand blasting.

Just curious if it looked OK or worsen the issue with a shiny new bottom and some pitting on the hood.

Also, how much did it cost?

thanks

That looks pretty impressive. I'll have to shop around for a shop that does this after painting.

I have it on my R-Class and wish I had done it to the E when I bought it. Any vehicle that I buy from now on will have it.
