...Yes, that is an improvement.
Honestly, I like color matched grill. I had to try hard to get the look you had stock. Namely...the grill not being a stark silver on black...in which case you actually created the reverse of that look. On SSM...the silver trim matches closely enough that you can get away with just doing the center bar and having it look matched.
My taste, obviously...

Coat it! I couldn't believe how glossy the urethane coating made my lights. And I had literally just polished them to be as good as you can get them.
Also in that second picture, what's the chunk on the aspec lip? Is that the fog light? It looks cut out to me...

It does...I will say that over time I've found that the urethane can have a yellowish tinge to it...DEFINITELY a clear headlight with a slight yellow to the plastic is better than the damage we normally see.
I can also confirm that althought the spar is permanent and will protect, it comes off with a good 1k/2k wetsand. Right now I've decided to treat my headlights like I do my tires...when i wash the car once a week or two, I put tire shine on...and I now also put a coating of this headlight sealant on. Goes on easy, it bubbles up and then you wipe it down. We'll see if this will ALSO keep them from turning.
