I am looking to freshen up the front of my car slightly. My car is pretty stock; only suspension mods at the moment.

I am considering doing the following to it.

Gloss Blk:


Blk Chrome:


Custom Chrome:


What do you think?

Paint it black, get some projectors, and lose the star.

I'm thinkin about going black on mine also .. Just cant decide if i want to use a different grill and save mine just incase it doesnt work out as expected ..
Personally if i had your color i would really consider matching the grill to the color of the car but thats just my opinion ..

You seem to have talent with photoshop Maybe you should try to insert these and see what the outcome might be



I think the Gloss Black looks best

MBFLO

j/k man i bet it looks pretty pimp . I honestly believe the grille should be the same color as whatever the car is but that just MO

Black looks more aggressive, the chrome makes it look classy.

I painted mine flat balck. I have to repaint it because it chips when it gets hit with small rocks on the highway. i'm thinking of spraying it with that rubbery base paint so it adheres better

so did the OP ever get the grill painted .. seems to be next on my list and would really like to see the outcome of one .

IMO I don't like the black grill on a silver car, it just doesn't flow, I have a silver car also and what I did was take the grill apart and paint the inside black ribs silver to match the car, gives it that S600 look, ill post a picture later.

MBFLO

Me personally wouldn't either as I think it should be what ever color the car is but ours see chrome so possibilties r endless

I'm not a big fan of black out grill and flat hood emblem. You change these things and it look nothing like a MBZ in the front. People tell me it look like a Hyundai Sonata. I have to agree it does look like it

I haven’t done anything yet as I have not found the right balance between class and sport.

I am searching for someone to do it in black chrome, but am forced to apply this via paint because it is plastic. Durability will be much less than what I want and it will be hard to touch up.

I do have an used OEM grill in ok condition, if anyone is interested.

i know this might be a little old, but i have been wondering about this type of setup for my black E55.

The color might look good but that yellow makes me
