That actually doesnt look that bad, but you should do the upper grill to match.

If you did black chrome or something - it's too "loud" for this dark color. Then again, I'm the guy who wants chrome rims on his BSP so what do I know?

Front grills draw too much attention especially in the 1st pic, but it depends on what look you're trying to achieve. I'm definitely likin' the rest!

IMO - I think it looks like a Bar-B-Q (too much chrome)

Anyone want some Hamburgers?

There is really little we can do to tart up the front end of our cars; different color lights, overlays, etc. Most grille treatments, including blacking them out, don't improve the stock look, imo. I put a RaceMesh grille on the lower opening because I didn't like the black gaping opening on the stock setup. But it doesn't stand out, just adds a bit of texture to the front, and it looks like it belongs. Some like it, some don't. It's all personal on how you feel about it.

I actually like this. I have to agree with Evitzee that this flows with the car. I wonder what it would look like painted BLK along with the front upper grill?
