Midnight or all black grill

On a black 2011 G37 sedan, would I look better if I put on all black grill with just the emblem chrome or a midnight grill?

I just finished painting mine all black. I wasn't feeling the top and bottom slats of chrome on the midnight grille. I LOVE the way mine turned out all black. I love the cleanliness of it.

I think it depends on what else you plan on blacking out.

If you are going to black out the window frames then all black.
If you plan on keeping the window frames chrome, then Midnight grille.

I used Duplicolor Perfect Match, 3 coats, followed by 3 coats of Duplicolor clearcoat lacquer.

Like what dragion said.
Chrome window trim, then Midnight grille.

I have black window trim and still did midnight black grill. The chrome headlights and chrome fog trim is enough to compliment the midnight black grill. Now, if you black out the headlights as well, then I would say all black grill.
