Added some new trim to the vehicle and new chrome grilles.
Bought the grilles on ebay from automotive-specialty. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...item=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2984wt_1163

Super fast shipping and very helpful

I also added the lower chrome piece via door edge molding
and chrome door molding, a 1/4" strip cut to shape and directly below existing black door trim. I wasn't sure if I was going to keep the color matching piece but I think it looks good with the essentially two tone trim in the middle and it isnt overpowering with chrome accent.
I originally thought of adding chrome handles but decided that it would be way too heavy chrome with the large area of chrome there so for now, leaving it stock, but i like the lexus and other high end vehicles that have handles that are both chrome and black.

I also have the LTZ style OEM fog lamps, waiting to actually install them and wire them into the system.

Let me know what you think, if you don't like it feel free to post, but remember while you can have your own opinion you dont need to force it down others throats by acting like yours is the only one that is right

Thanks!

The roof chrome trim is kinda iffy. I'd want to see it in person, but it looks fairly decent.

The extra chrome below the door mouldings needs to replace them instead of accent them. Two trims there changes the clean lines into being too busy.

I have a black car with black grille but chrome borders and I like it fine just like that, but yours looks good, too.

Overall I'd say the only thing to do is choose which door trim you're gonna keep. It all looks like you've taken your time to install carefully.

thanks for comments!

elcompalalo - grille install was easy literally took 2 mins to open box and snap into place just requires lining it up properly and giving it some force to get it in.
