Hm tough call, black goes well with your black corners (those stockers that are tinted with VHT? They look a little different from my black corners from ebay). Painted to match looks good too...

I guess I'm a bit partial to the black one. Matches the corners and the berger on the back.

Black.

It matches everything on your car perfectly. Granted, I'd do an SLP grille...but that's beside the point.

+1 on the black since it goes with everything else. I don't really care for body colored grills.

I too like what you have done to it.. Different, but nice.. Maybe you can do like i did if you are getting the front bumper painted anyway.. I will be adding the SLP Bowtie grill within the next couple of weeks.. I have grown tired of mine since it has been like this since 04... GL...

I might paint the mirrors body color when it goes in the booth
They need a repaint any way but I think I'll end up with the black grill.
Thanks for the comments and post up if ya got any ideas
