Default Front trim

Opinions please: The OEM grill trim section in 3 different colors. Black, chrome, & yellow. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

That's what I am thinking. I changed the side, front and rear emblems to black.

Check out the headlight film. I have the minimum % film, with the dark eye lid. I tried a bit darker film but couldn't see at night.

Not bad. Vertical stripes might look even better.

I think the chrome strip on the grille looks good, but a Z06 style grille just looks better, much more aggressive.

But your car, do what you like.
