Its funny, I was actually praised by the person who originally posted this thread for the way I answered his question. He seems to think I was commenting out of respect, which I was, but you took it completely out of context.
When I first saw it on another forum member's car, I thought it would be some cheap plastic after market part as well. When more and more people got theirs and post pictures. I decided to give it a shot.

When it arrived, the quality surprised me. Not only it is of high quality, the fit and finish is dead on. The center star is an actual OEM part.

Nice HLG.

Black on black is a very clean look.
My Silver on Silver looks great. I've had it on for several months now and have no regrets.

Thank you. The silver one is very nice as well. I feel it does a good job of freshening up the look of the car.

Off the topic but how much do the early 90's model SL run for these days?
