Question Yay or Nay? Vinyl stripes in center?(PIX)

I figured I would play with some vinyl to see if it would break up some of the white a bit in the front before I try the rear and I kinda like it but not with my grill.I think the chrome ring around the grill needs to be black to for it to look better.What do you think?
I want to try a small section down low by the exhaust tips too,but keep that low and thin.?

I'm sorry...I know a lil off topic but too much chrome for me. Why ruin a beautiful car with unnecessary chrome? What really got me was the chrome on the doors. You should get the 2011 grille...would look much better. Also the vinyl might mesh better with it as well. I do think the white Max's look sick though!

LOL - Exactly what I thought

I think the chrome trim on the grill is killing it a bit for me too especially since your chromed the "hole" next to the fog lights

Like WhitefrostMax said, a different black grill may do the trick. Black grille - back components in the front too...

Looks different. Reminds me of the Audi and Mitsubishi look, but definitely black out the grill. Nice unique look.

I think it looks good, but maybe with a blackout grill it would look better.

Def has the look of an Audi or even a GT-R, which I like.

I would go with an all-black grill and loose the chrome around the vents next to the fog lights. It would be cool to outline the entire black area in chrome, but I think it's not feasible.

I think it looks great, Ive been toying around with blacking out some of the front but not as much as you did. I too think if the grill was completely black it would finish it off.

Drop car. Top and bottom grill and bumper finish should be equally the same or it won't look right. Also, black out the door trim, black or matte rims with polished lip, and the rear lift gate chrome should match exterior paint.

Hell no! I got ours taken off when we were at the dealer. as a matter of fact, we're going back now so they take the ugly dealer sticker off that they put on. I hate any kind of stickers on the car.

only sticker I have on my cars is a sticker that says "US ARMY INFANTRY" and that's it. I have to have a college decal, which I despise, but oh well

No, and here's why.

The corners of the lower grille opening are curved. By having the vinyl end at the corners that way, you're introducing a straight edge into the middle of a curve. There's just no way to make that look right.

From a distance, I applaud the unique look. But once you see it up close, it's just wrong.

Not a fan of the chrome, either, but you can't fault the design, only the bling.
