Blacked out star grill and taillights
Installed the grill and got my tail lights blacked out today it was pouring so coulden't take great pics (and its from on blackberry so didnt come 2 good i'll take better ones tomo).Also Have to get a flat badge still. I blacked out the whole tail lights still thinking if i should cut out the clear part but i kinda like the way it looks now pictures don't do it justice though...

Like the blacked out grill, but it and the hood emblem are too much. I like the star grill but have switched back to stock. Will probably switch back and forth, but I think most agree that stock grill looks best with stock star and star grill looks best with flat hood ornament.

man! if only that came in ALL black......it's nice, and I keep considering it, but that blue part throws me off...(black car) I guess it wouldn't be that outstanding to anyone but me or another E owner......
like the look though......I need to find a flat as well.......
I ordered myself a black grill (I think from the same source)
for fun........should get it this week I think.....

I pointed to the Hyundai Genesis and asked my wife if she wanted THAT Mercedes.
She looked and said, "nah, I'd rather have the SUV."
I realized the hood 3 point star ornament is the only thing separating a Benz from a Hyundai for those that don't know anything about cars.
I'm keeping the ornament.

I think when people mod their cars they mod for themselves. I for one could care less about what someone who knows nothing about cars...

Yea its nice but when you have a star grill(like myself) it looks stupid as you can see in the pics above and then the other pics i posted without it,looks 10 times better...when modding your car the whole point is to be different and make it look how you like it...soo to EACH HIS OWN
