It may look good on a ligher colored car with other chrome accents, but it stands out too much on a dark colored car (such as the black IS online)...

first saw this on a new CLK and was wondering if it was a dealer installed option....the CLK was a baby blue so it looked weird but sorta ok. but i think in the end the question is, WHY?
