Anyone have a pic of their E55 with the badges painted black? I'm curious to see what it would look like.

The Gs Models have chrome around the grille,emblems,head lights and on the rear badging, I painted everything on my car graphite to match my rims..I'm not a huge fan of chrome!

the last picture is what a stock Gs front looks like.

Very nice. My next car, if I ever sell mine, will most likely be either an E or an M5, and I'm also pretty sure that I'm gonna go with burgandy and make everything black.

I had my body shop do it. I tried to get the black pearl look that Lexus offers but we couldn't match the paint..so I went with blue pearl graphite.

I like the paint color so much I'm going to start doing on whatever car I get next.

if you go with burgandy..check out blue pearl graphite..it looks amazing with with red and burgandy color cars. And it really shines; also it's a nice contrast from black
