Default Help me make up my mind. NEW PICS PG 2.

OK, I installed my new billet grille yesterday but I'm not sure if I want it to stay with a polished finish or go to black. I'm leaning towards the black look but then again, people are diggin the way it is now...polished.

So, what is it gonna be?



or



Kinda hard to see the grille here but it's there, no photoshop just electric tape over the bars.

Thanks for the imput.

I'd say polished, but get some chrome zr1's so it stands out more.

I agree, keep it, it looks sweet. I would go with zr1's also, lower it, and i'm not really feelin the hockey sticks.

the only way i would keep it polished like that was if your hockey stripes were silver to match it, just paint it black it looks awsome black.

The fog lights are from Autozone. They are called Hyper Whites, but they shine amber when on and look blue when off. Bad choice in naming that product.

no offense but that car looks like you just picked random things you liked and threw em' on there, none of it fits or goes together IMO. but as far as the grill. black.

In my opinion, if the wheels were chrome, I would make the grille chrome/polished as well. Otherwise, leave it black.

Bear in mind, I still have the stock grille with the license plate attached...

That's why I was leaning towards the black because there is nothing else on the car to compliment the grille as is.

Clear corners, red painted/decal scoop, and black grille would look great!
