Default Keep the grille emblem or not?

I am torn between keeping it on there and keeping it off.
I just got my bumper back from paint and all holes have been filled.

Thanks

I was planning on putting the emblem on but after I got it back from paint, I thought man that looks really good without it. I kinda like it with it on too but it looks clean without it.

It' s a cleaner look without it, but I like the way it breaks up the white. I would either put it back on, or buy the SLP grill for it.

I like it on there also... Although, a chrome bowtie (same outlined design as the red but in chrome) would look KILLER! Pretty sure RK Sport sells them...

That's a tough one. It seems to need something but the red bowtie is a little much. A polished stainless bowtie might look good.

I think the whiteness helps give you something to focus on, too much open space otherwise, keep it

That SLP grill is fastened to the car by 3M tape. My reasoning for suggesting the grill is that the largemouth bass look is already apparent enough WITH a grill. I think the SLP grill gives it a little more character. That' s just my opinion though.
