Your front end looks spectacular... Just enough chrome to go with the bumper... The chrome surround ties the lights together.... I wouldn't change a thing...

i am going to fab/paint/install a lower grill to see what it looks like first, then decide what to do about the surround. i like the look of the chrome to indeed tie the lights together, but i really like the limited look with the monochromatic look. we will see

Yeah it isa a lot of sanding. Never gave much thought about painting the whole mirror. I know someone on here has done it. It is a lot of white. And I think painting the B pillars is not for me. I like the entire window area to be black. Goes with the tinted windows better IMO. I will also say that you need to make sure you get paint and clear on the inside part of the mirror cap. I didn't clear them as much as everywhere else and if your looking for it, you can tell.
