I'd black them out.. it would go with the black roof and grills. Plus it'll give it some flavor in the back.. Super clean back there, give it some taste to flow with the CF on the spoiler

I wouldn't say the blackout or the whiteout is overdone, but like Chris said it's personal preference. In my case, as I mentioned before, I personally get irritated when I see blacked out lenses (tails and especially headlights). The whiteout mod is cool, but again, I personally feel their is not enough of a break between the lights and the body/ trunk to give it the contrast I appreciate as it sits untouched. All of the variations look great. In the end the only thing I care for is for the rods to look brighter. If I could achieve that with no black at all that is the way I would go. Thanks again for the feedback.

LOL. A bit harsh, but I understand where you're coming from. Chris and Simon's blackout effect does in fact look really nice if you can appreciate the difficulty in what they do to the LCI tails, which are super brittle. I feel you tho if you mean like "Murdered out effect" cheapens the overall look.

Anyways, Hows your w211? I'm seriously thinking of really hooking up our E550 with that E63 AMG body kit, but I can't find any that don't have PDC. Also looking for maybe a set of wheels. Any suggestions where to look?
