Front Grill...Decisions, Decisions.

A couple weeks ago I bought a plastidipped front grill and emblem from a member (cvipgo). It was a smooth transaction and the grill/emblem arrived just as described. After seeing the plastidip finish first hand I have decided its not the direction I want to go in. So I am sending it off to 180 Customs to have it professionally painted.

What suggestions do you guys have for the color/finish? Keep in mind that I have the 2011 black chrome headlights and do not plan on painting them as I like the color. I only plan on removing the amber. Also my SSR wheels are flat black.

I was thinking black obsidian grill and shadow graphite emblem like this:





Or should I just go all black? Help me decide! Thanks

Well i like chrome so I would keep the logo chrome and paint the grill gloss black. I think the chrome on black makes the car pop. IMO.

good luck bro.

Right? Thats why I thought that black with the shadow graphite would match the black chrome headlights.
