Decided to tone it down a little

 

That looks great - what did you use to black out the car?

 

Thanks...for the grille I used black plasti dip. The grille took me 3 hours to do. It was a pain to mask everything. It better last long because i'm not doing that again. The front lip spoiler and trunk part I used gun metal grey plasti dip. The muffler area I used blackout tape.

 

Looks good just may have to do it again every year or so because the grille will chip when rocks hit it.

 

I will probably try to touch it up instead of doing it all over again.

 

looks really good!!

 

Thanks...it was my first time messing with plasti dip. Watched youtube videos which helped a lot.

 

Gee, you should get a '58 Buick or a '59 Dodge.

 

I'm not a huge fan of chrome, but I think what comes on '14 is very tastefully done. I wouldn't change anything about it. But it is your car, so do what you like.

 

Chrome looks OK to me. Actually it is very nice.

 

I agree...here's mine.

 

lol...that would be a nightmare.

 

Actually I prefer some chrome (or brightwork since most of it is stainless steel or plastic). One thing that attracted me to the 2010 E Luxury version was the chrome grille. It looks like an M-B sedan should look.
Wonder what this does to resale or lease turn-in values. Would imagine it will be harder to sell and therefore resale is lower.
But its your car, so should look like you want it to.
