I would think gloss black would be your best bet

fwiw, gloss black will give cops one more shiny thing to target with laser... A flat or satin black will reflect less easily ::shrug::

Looks good Brian. I plan to do something similar once I get my grille.

I would probably have it painted gloss as well.

i think you should keep your mouth shut since you have no idea what you're talking about and stop spamming threads with useless comments...im sorry you dont have an ss but that doesnt mean you can bother other people about what they do have

You want me to read the whole damn forum? Come on man... you would have to have the IQ of a cockroach to choose the finish of your grille because you think cops won't be able to detect your speed
