so it might actually be good to leave the chrome piece? the other problem is i dont think its gonna be possible to remove the custom grille from the chrome piece due to all the 3m double sided tape i used... you guys think i should just get the whole thing spray painted to match my obsidian?
Meaning have the chrome/custom grille removed without separating the two and paint them.... you guys think that will come out good? Or it will look wierd in the end?
ideas?

Not to but in your thread but....
Leave it alone! The chrome just accentuates the black. The shiny chrome is like the contrasting tie to a good suit. Stick with the chrome dude!!!

I left the grill alone, and added a Race Mesh lower grille. I am not a fan of all blacked out grilles ..... looks artificial in my view. Too much of a hulking black hole.

i like how that looks, but on a black car that would be soooo bright..like a *****hs chrome grille..as in his iced out mouth lol... but i like how it looks on silver. I dont want to accent the silver on my car, but rather make it all black...i jsut dont think it would follow my vision for when im done modding,
