Default front grille with no chome

Should I blacken it out or leave it? What do you think?

I just did mine, looks too good, gives a complete new look to the front end of the car, and i also removed my front plate which made it even better.






there ya go

Either way is fine... But definitely get rid of the front plate.

one of the most simple yet effective mod... definitely changes the look of the whole front end ....

SGM color matched outer bezel with black grill and black emblem

One thing I never got around to doing on mine. This does look much better especially on the darker colors.

I only painted part of the chrome bezel, and sanded down the chrome, look like no one noticed.

Looks good both ways! I prefer the chrome, but black is good as well, especially on your black car!
