Default SLP SS Grille

Well, my GF got me a SLP SS grille for my birthday and I'm trying to decide if I want to get it painted or not.

Option 1: All black



Option 2: Silver w/ black center



Option 3: All silver



So what does everything think I should do?

Lol. That was my first option until my brother sent me the picture of the all silver one. I asked a friend who is awesome at photoshop to do the grille in all silver with the bar going across black. Once he gets that done I'll finally be able to make my decision. But as of right now, since my front end has the "clear" look to it I'm thinking all silver. But my mind might change once the chop is done. My theme is black and silver...

You should sell the catfish grill and use the money for a real grill. (billet or wingswest/rksport) IMO.

I don't thinthe all silver looks weird...you saw the picture of the all silver one with the bowtie right?

I'm thinking that I don't want a ton of black on the front end since I have clear corners, stock headlights, and no manta. The back of the car is the blacked out part.

So, right as of, since I haven't seen anyone with it, I'm thinking all solver with the bar going across the grille black. That way it's not all silver and the black can break it up slightly.
