Shoulda painted the grille gloss black.

Rubber lip looks outta place on the K2, IMO.

Take the lip out and don't paint the headlights black. Ruins the contrasts.

I put the rubber strip mainly to protect the bumper b.c here in miami almost every plaza have steep entries due to floods so when getting out of them bumper hit pavements.

I like it. The rubber lip and grill go well together both being flat black + they'll go well with your new wheels as well.

Looks pretty good. Do what you want to it and don't listen to these guys. Please don't paint your headlights. They're safety equipment.

Too much black can be an overkill. Get clear corners and it should match your headlights nicely.
