Need help choosing Grill 
Here's the best picture I have that shows the car from afar. More pics are on my Fquick page (check sig)
I'm not sure if my grill matches my car too well. I have a blue/white theme going on compared to the usual blue/black themes. Up close the grill looks good. But from far like this shot it just stands out too much (or is it just me ???)
I have two options that I'm looking at:
1. Polished Billet Grill w/ matching Polished Ram Air Grill
2. Black Billet Grill
Opinions please

i agree with the paint, i mean considering your car has stripes it would look clean. i pulled my insert out of the hood and sprayed it with chrome paint and it looks good, the stainless inserts for the hood scoop that i have seen look cheesy. i would definitely recommend trying the chrome paint and if you dont like it then get an insert.

I say leave it alone, you allready have the best looking grill IMO. I see cars all the time that are very clean and done in good taste "like yours" but the owners keep modding them and go overboard.
Also, dont paint it to match the car, the contrast does good for the front. I also think continuing the stripes would clutter it up and look WT.

Yeah I'm not sure about painting the grill. I've seen another NBM SS with stripes that has the grill painted to match the car and stripes and it doesn't look as good as other color cars with stripes. For instance it looks sweet on Ls1CamaroGuy87's car but on NBM it just doesn't look great. IMO

You guys suck 
I did a search and found another NBM SS w/ stripes that painted their grill and it does look freakin' sweet!!
I even did a search and found some cars with the billet grills, and it looks like the black billet is the best IMO.
So... I'm going to look into painting this grill, and if that fails I think I will be going the black billet route.
Thanks everyone for your help!

I'm going to look around and find a good shop around here to paint it. The only thing that seems tricky is getting this grill off without breaking anything. Any tips? All I've read is "yank it out", and that doesn't suit well with me.
