Should I keep it silver or paint it black??? I had to make the mesh holes smaller. It looks so much better now...

And also I will end up changing the Mesh in the L-Sportline Body kit as well... If I decide to keep it silver....

Definitely black. Maybe it is the picture but the silver mesh does not seem as flat and as taut as it could be. Even if it is not the pic, I think the black would hide it anyway.

Black looks better.

IMO too many shades of silver going on if you leave it silver - you know how you don't wear a blue sportcoat with blue pants that don't quite match? I'm changing the paint on my brake calipers from silver to black or gray for just that reason.

Go dark, it will look better with a contrasting shade/color. Silver looks great on darker colored cars though. Bad pic, light was fading...

I'd go with Black, Dave is right too many shades of silver can make it look bad.

sypher,

new shoes? something with a lip after all! we all get that ambition after coming to CL. where did you get your mesh at? i also have the TRD grille with the mile-wide holes that let you see the radiator up close and personal. i asked steve about the mesh cost of the matching l-sportline kit and they wanted $90.

oh, and black looks best
