Default Black or Polished Grill...for LT1

After seeing one of the threads about having either a polished or black grill on an LS1 Camaro, it got me thinking about what would look better on my car. I took some electrical tape and put it on my current polished grill to see how it would look with it being black. Just wondering what everyone thinks about it as I really can't decide if black would look better (but I kinda feel polished looks better between the two). Don't mind how dirty it is, winter weather sucks...

With the black grill:







With the polished grill:

Both look good. But i think black is a little better but may be a little to boring. Polish stands out more.

Wow....this is a hard decison. Glad its not me

Polished because of the polished wheels.

Thanks for the opinions! I have a deep down gut feeling that I really like the polished more than the black. I do think the black looks pretty mean and aggressive, but I think the polished is more appealing to the eye.

Only problem I have is the black powdercoating is starting to chip off of it. Would it be worth tryin to paint it or should I just buy a new one?

The more and more I think about it, the black is sort of growing on me. UGH!! Decisions...decisions!
