No pictures, but I think it looks sharp as long as the silicone is done correctly. Gives it a framed look.

I used black silicone on my viv to cover the front, back and sides so i could hide the gs and it worked out good. just be careful not to make the layer of silicone too thick. when my gs shrunk(because it will shrink a little) it pulled the silicone away from the glass. i had to go back and jam the caulk gun into the crevasse and fill it back in as much as possible. it still turned out good but next time i will opt for a couple of thin layers of silicone as opposed to 1 thick layer. good luck! 8)
