Looks like it does not belong there and draws too much attention to it not belonging there but as long as you like it who cares,right?

I like the dark grille, but I think those blacked out center caps look terrible. I've never seen anybody do something like that...and I think theres a reason why.

Let me clarify that I'm talking about the center caps. The grill i like but did not even realize it was done because of the caps.

The dark grille looks nice because the car still looks classy. The center caps make it look like just plain stupid. It is a classy full sized car. Its not a race car, or a ghetto glider. Keep it classy.

didn't you already have the black center caps and grille in that first thread you started?

the grille isn't bad and i get what you're trying to do with the center caps but i don't think they look good, especially how its just painted on



i love the LS but it isn't this

Murdering a car is a complete blackout... all you did was the center of the grill and the center of the wheels.... please no

And gee why polish it when you could sand it to a nice dull finish, you know that popular primer look. And in the process ruin a paint job that would cost $15,000. or more to duplicate.

And why black out the grill? If you want to have something really different you should have used pink, or yellow or blue, maybe mix green and red for the season.

Grille looks almost OEM.
Didn't even realize it was painted until it was bought up.
But the center on the wheels...

this. the wheels, windows, and all the chrome bits need to be black to be 'murdered out'.

but as stated, if you like it then that's all that matters.
