first or second?

Im team chrome delete almost always. Its not bad against the white though.
If it were my car, Id wanna do more black accents to go with the chrome delete up front.

I agree with you a bit the chrome on these Mazdas is done right for sure

Also the flat black from the chrome delete does not match that white that Mazda does, like a pearlescent color. Makes it look horrible.

Stick with chrome imo. Chrome delete looks off

[hallow nexus]

It looks off because it doesnt match the grille

This one doesn't look bad with the grille

if i ever decide to get the chrome delete, I'd go with gloss black to match the glossy grill and the bottom lil piece of black that comes stock. You're right tho the satin black in the pic does look off.
