its all about your preference and how the grill fits with other mods.

and the wonderful thing is you can prob find a picture of someone with the exact same grills on the same color car you have, so compare em side by side and pick which you think looks best. or have your gf/mom/pet tarantula pick.

I've got the Dark chrome with black badge and I love it. Mines on an MSM but I'm pretty sure I've seen a GGP with it somewhere on here

I have a black IS with polished wheels so I am also torn. I think I will end up with smoked w/ black emblem anyway

I have a ggp with the sport mesh grill. I wouldn't change it for anything. But I got to say the dark chrome 3 bar with red emblem does look sick on ggp

baadhabit had it right, it's about your personal preference. Buy the one YOU think looks nice, put it on and rock and roll. Who cares what everyone else thinks.

Everyone here speaks truth, sir. Pick one you like and don't look back. To hell with other people's opinions. If you like the look, then rock that look. It's YOUR car.
