I thought about doing these inserts on mine but decided against it. I have a black car, with chrome rims and the newer style lights. I thought it would've been too much chrome for me personally. To each his own though it's your ride.

I'm not a fan of the chrome either, but I color matched mine and used chrome strips like my grille.. It looks pretty nice.

I do feel that anything is better than that drab black at the bottom. here is mine

not the worst thing I've seen, and I think thats partially because of the color of your car.

However, Im not a particularly big fan of the huge star in the grille.

The lower part I could live with.
