    I personally think........it needs more clear corner. I like the before picture, but that's just my bland opinion. I think that I'm going to be the last guy with brushed aluminum trim, and start that trend all over again. If you like the black optics, keep going. It's reversible.

    Original looks classy.

    I don't think the blacked out grill and brushed mirrors flow well.

    If you are thinking black optics, I personally think it doesn't look right until it's all done. This is coming from the guy that did his in stages.

    Yeah, I was concerned about that Crown Victoria Police car look. But it seems that most of today's sports oriented cars seem to come with Blacked out Grills. I myself have conflicting views, sometimes I like it and sometimes I don't. I have to admit though the Blacked out look is starting to grow on me. As far as clear corners are concerned, I am waiting to do my first Timing Belt Job. At which point after the bumper removal I can remove the lights and get rid of those orange markers. Thanks to all of you I greatly value your opinions, after all were all one big RS6 family.
