Chrome Headlight/Taillight Surrounds

Anyone have any of these?

Got any pics on an e550?

The taillight ones look interesting. I just wonder how they look on black.

Something like this:

So you are opining that it doesn't look good? Your car is light in color. I wonder what it would look like on my black E550.

Those taillight ones look kind of cool, no?

Well, the side view does look a little lame. The outer rim is too thick...

I like the back view more.

This is why I wanted to see them on a black car to see if they looked good or not ;-)


Hey, Benz-o-rama, Are your tailpipes in your pic stock? If not, did you have the bumper cut? How much does something like that usually run to have done?

I just changed my sig picture, but yeah, they were cut out. I swapped out my exhaust for one from an E55.

I paid about $1000.00 for parts and labor.

Here's a detailed thread on it:

I wouldn't put them on the rear ... they add a tacky look IMO... but I did install the fronts and they look great covering up the black seal around the head lights...
