Lightbulb To Blitz or not to Blitz

What do you guys think? I don't know what it is but I am feeling this grill. I've been through 4 or so grills now.

Buddy of mine photoshopped this for me in black and graphite. Other color choice would be msm.

Here's in black...I would want this to be more gloss to go with my lower grill surround and roof.


Graphite


MSM...actual pic of grill


Or just leave as is...this is current.



Thanks for looking.

I dig the grille it flows nicely on ur wagon. I say go with the first flatter black picture when it's too glossy it looks kinda tacky. The Graphite looks good too but then it's kinda off color with the rest of ur car. Kinda Curious what the full MSM grille looks like.

Thanks for your feedback. I will try and get one up with MSM.

Bottom lip? I have a Sportcross. Cheap? How's that being cheap when it's custom painted that I way I like it. It's a Sport Design grill so it's OEM......obviously stock.

I just wasted my time reading your BS post.

you read my post but you read over what i was getting at. the black on msm looks unfinished like the civic guys that ride around with an unpainted bumper. ie looks cheap.

How does it look unfinished when it's painted? The section of the lower grill flows with my black painted roof imo and in most people's opinion. I did not read over your post......you suggested MSM then a bunch of BS afterwards. I never asked opinions on my lower grill surround. That is all.

Voted for Graphite, now if there was a way to have that Lexus emblem on the new grill it would look even more great.
