Just installed a new black on black grille from LLltek, should I wrap the rest of the chrome on the side intakes, or leave as is ?

I like the silver sides, gives some contrast to the front of the car. Take a few more pictures at different angles so we can see--and pull your front plate off and show off the whole grille and keep your second tag in the car--there are enough greenies driving around MA where nobody will really give you crap about it

Not a fan of total blacking out, always thought it looks cheap. That said, with the middle completely blacked out, the front now looks out of balance to my eye. I'd say you either need some silver back in the middle or black out the sides. I did see someone on here with a D3 S8 with the bulk of the grill blacked out except for the logo and ring around the grill and it looked real sharp. My thoughts, anyway.

I would say take a picture from the front further away to we can get a better view. Before I purchased the S8 I was looking for a white S6 with black optics package. I like the blackout grill but with everything else that comes with it. You can go ahead and wrap the chrome on the side vents and remove it if you think it's too much.

Your plate is mounted much lower than ussual.

I'd like to see the black grill with silver rings.

And yes wrap the side silver grills also.

Definitely leaning towards the chrome rings...here are a few more shots,
sorry it's gloomy today.

Chrome rings would look nice with the black background.

Not a great pic, I just used Plastidip on my grill, left the rings and quattro badge chrome. I did the side grills black as well, but left the ACC chrome trim intact. Took about 2 hours, most of which was masking.
Not as durable as wrapping, but it's a great way to try different looks...

While you're at it, you should maybe look at adding 15 or 20mm spacers to push your wheels out some...

I like it.. I think it looks better. But what matters is, if you like it...

Asiparks

indeed I do like...and if I didn't, it peels off without too much difficulty...originally my rings were black, but I thought it needed some contrast, so off it came....
