Default Full Chrome Grille or Just Tips?
I have a Silver GS 400 and I was looking for advice on whether to fully chrome the Grille or just Chrome the tips. I was thinking about doing full chrome but I realized it might be a bit too much. Any one have pictures of full chromed and just chrome tip grilled Silver GS's

I guess he means just scraping off the paint of the "fins".

I did this, but I think I'm gonna take all the paint of the grill and have it full chrome.

I like the look of the full diy chrome grill. The Kazz grill is cool too even though it's "Mercedes-like".
