Just took my grill out. What color to paint

I just took my grill out. My car is vibrant red and was wondering what color should I paint it. I have a cf hood and a front splitter along with gtr overlays. I want to try and do something different. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!!!!!!!

black is going to look the best
think it would look funny if it was the same color as the car

either do a brushed look like i was going to do, or maybe have a tinted black clear sprayed over it, so it looks like a black chrome

What would you guys think about a charcoal color of some sort. My wheels will have a polished lip. Is it possible to find carbon fiber paint. So it would look like my grill is made out of carbon fiber?

it would be a total beeyotch to wrap that grill in carbon fiber

there are techniques for painting stuff that give a carbon fiber "look", but it wouldn't look right

Definitely Chartreuse! You got to be different now days.

Or you can always go flat black if you dont want your sexuality questioned.
