Saw a few people with these "mods". The blacked out center on the front lip looks like you hit something on the freeway and never got it fixed. Blacked out door handle screams base model Honda. Blacked out mirrors makes them look even bigger.
Not my style. Just my opinion.

Well he is entitled to his opinion. We all got different tastes and I guess that's what makes it interesting. Personally chrome looks cheap to me, so that's why I always do a chrome delete on my cars.
But I do whatever mods I think compliments my car for my own enjoyment and not to please everyone else. If you don't like what I do, it's fortunate that I'm the one looking at the car on a daily basis and not you.

I'm disappointed the newer pre-FL E's have chrome strips on the door handles. Anything other than body color handles are tacky, IMO. Other than that, I think MB did a good job with the amount of chrome they put on these cars. Will probably try to swap the handles on my 2013 for some from the 2010-11, unless a wrap takes care of it. But it won't be Obsidian Black... Idk, something else to think about, I guess.
