I have the LX Mode upper and lower and I hate emblems. I specifically chose to remove all my exterior emblems because I think it looks smoother/cleaner. I don't care if it was a Benz or BMW. Get the IS F style grill....so you won't look like me! Hah! You do whatever YOU want to do because it's your car and if they don't like it then let them drive their hoopty!!! If you want classy, I say keep the chrome. If you want aggressive then black stuff out.
here's mine with a black grill surround and isf style insert so you get an idea. personally i like the black grill surrounds on black cars, makes it look a little more aggressive.
Thanks for sharing, looks great! hmm i think im still gonna end up painting the grille and keeping the chrome grille surround just cause im going for the classier direction. I wish i didnt black out my headlight housing
LX modes comes with the emblem holder which you can take on and off depending on your mood for the day.
I vote for the LX mode if you have the emblem holder
here's a picture of the IS-F style grill w/o emblem (yet).
only thing i would recommend is make sure you paint it in some sort of gunmetal similar to the OEM IS-F grill, otherwise it'll look flat black and that's no bueno!
personally im not much a fan of the all blacked out look, i need bits and pieces of contrast in there to break the look apart.
