Got a billet grill for Christmas for my 94 Z/28. I'm trying to decide, should I leave it silver or paint it black since the rest of the car is blacked out (taillights, windows, turn signals) or would it be a nice balance being silver/chrome since there is chrome wheels on the car? I also have a 69 z/28 emblem i was thinking about throwing on there to match the fenders and tail panel. What do you guys think?

I would leave it silver. It would blend in too much with a black car if painted black. That being said, mine is painted black but my car is bright teal metallic. Here's a pic of mine:

^I usually don't like them either, but my foglight delete let you see a lot of paint overspray throught the holes. I decided to try to do a grill because I couldn't find any
1LE foglight covers, and couldn't be happier.

Well went out really fast since its cold again and set the grill on the car unpainted and looks really nice! i may just leave it chrome for now. I'm not sure how to make the 69 z28 emblem work with the bend on the grill though.
