The smoked corners look too out of place... #1 by far is better in my opinion. ... maybe ... the grille done in anthracite to match your wheels would look interesting and tie the two together...

I'm also a bit curious what the black mesh diffusers would look like painted in silver to match the car...

Smoked doesnt match anything else on the car. Clear matches the clear headlites. Hope you have the chrome turn signal bulbs.

Difinitely the first one. I want to do the same thing with the side clear markers. let me know where you purchase the clear markers because I have been looking for a set but have not been able to find a set.

You can usually find them on eBay, just search for "sl55 clear markers".

Usually $50 for the pair, plus $10 or $15 shipping.
