Looks like the Chrome was the winner. It just flows better with the color of the car and the headlights. I do like the black lower though as the heat exchanger before stuck out too much.
The problem is now the mirrors look REALLY out of place lol

I would like to see how it would look with the grill painted body color. So for our case, the chrome portion painted pewter and leaving the back part of the grill the original black.

I agree now that you have the chrome grille, the mirror covers have to go.. They only fit in if you are doing the other black accents.
Ehhhh, not feeling the look of it honestly..

I think what gun-moto was saying is paint ONLY the chrome part pewter but leave the gloss black as they can be separated. That picture above is the entire grill paint matched. I think I might actually try that.

I did't notice the carbon ricer sticker on the roof and the door trim too? Ya, that's gotta go. Vinyl sticker jobs don't belong on a benz. Keep it classy dude. Not meant as an attack, Just my 2 cents.

I assume that's directed at someone else? I don't have any of that you mentioned.

No go on black grill and cf mirrors for that color, but whatever you do, don't black out your tail lights, headlights etc, its just wack and you don't enjoy the lines of the car. Either way too many opinions, do whatever makes you happy, bc if you break it down...your hooking your car up to impress other dudes?? Def do you

Looks much worse to me now, if u go black go black all the way around, i say cf covers are cool but now it looks like they dont belong there, if u loose them as well, your lip wont belong there, so id say plasti dip it back, put light tint on headlights like 15%, tint side markers and put some cf wheel caps and paint those vents on a hood! It will look SICK! I did mine, liking every inch of it! Plannin on getting cf lip and diffuser soon...
