i vote for silver and clear as well. I kinda like the black markers but the black grill treatment kills the look of the front end.

You could get away with the black and tint on a black or tektite car. (M4x? ) On a silver car, keep the silver and clear. The black grill breaks the lines. It looks like it's missing some teeth. And the tinted markers also end up looking like holes. Unless you want the car to look like a Stormtrooper?

I like the black grill with clear corners. Makes the mercedes emblem seem to float out there.

Silver with clear. That's the ticket.

all black grille?

Hi all,

Does anyone know where i can purchase either an all-black grille, or grille that is all black except for the mercedes emblem? All the aftermarket parts I see have chrome fins. Do I need to have the part custom-painted? If so, does anyone know of a reputable place in the San Francisco Bay Area that can do this for me?

Thanks!
