Default Paint grille or not? vote or die !! 56k'ers are a no go

Sorry to put P-diddy's words in there but should I paint the grille black to do an all black sort of theme or leave it how it is? keep in mind the headlights, corners and everything else is black on the car? the rims are machined face with black paint in between and black center caps so they match no matter what i do? tell me what you think???

I don't ever have my license plate on but this will show you a better pic





beaucoup pictures? sorry

I say leave it. It breaks it up a little bit but doesn't ruin the black-theme IMO, it flows with it very well.

IMO....take it off, fill in the holes on the bumper and repaint it. i think these cars look best w/o a grill, not saying that some don't look kickass with them, but i thnk you can't go wrong with just taking it out.

Leave it, ties in perfectly with the little bit of chrome in the headlights and the machine face on the rims.

I don't like the billet grilles, I would put an SLP one on if it were me, but since it's not I would paint it so it doesn't stand out so much, just my opinion.

I would say leave it and put a SS emblem on there like SS LS1. Those wheels are awsome btw I wish I could get a set for my car.
