You are correct someone does not like it. I cannot stand the blacked out look. Might as well be driving a busted down beat up old jalopy without hubcaps. that's what the Blacked out look represents to me. Everyone is entitled to their opinion though long as you're happy it belongs to you.

Can I ask where you got the piece to black out the chrome on the grille?

Looks great. I'm likely to do that to my Laguna Blue as well.

Very nice! I'm part of the chrome free crowd as well. Don't forget the lugs and center caps. Although I'm not 100% sure you haven't done away with your lugs.

I did the Gorilla lug nuts, where do I get the center caps?

I blacked them out with plastic dip. Now I'm just hoping it holds up to my car washing rituals. I forgot to mention that I found a real nice set of black valve stem caps that match our lugs on amazon as well.
