see, if i were to paint the front, i wouldn't just do the grille trim.
cuz then, it's like the GS has chrome eyeglasses.

I'd have to paint everything to make it look consistent.

every other car has: no chrome around lights. chrome around grille.

now you have chrome around lights, no chrome around grille. And that's what i think makes it look awkward.

this is what all black would sorta look like. It almost looks like a damn 2010 E class now

in order to take those headlight moldings off, do you have to take the front bumper off and then the headlight as well?
