Need help with my grill

Hi everyone,

I have the Cervinis grills on my car. Last summer i paint both grills black. I'm trying to decide if I should keep them black or sand off the paint and leave them with the bruched look. What does everyone think??? Opinions would be appreciated. (sorry about the poor pick of the black grills)

Tough call but I prefer the black. I'm a little tired of the billet grill and the black changes it up a little. As long as your paint on the grill looks good and quality, I'd leave the black. IMO.

I am trying to decide the same thing. I am leaning towards powder coating mine gloss black, especially after seeing your Mustang and all the comments in favor of black over silver.

superman, both look good, but yeah another vote for black.

tispco, i think your upper grille looks good on your car. if anything, i would just powder coat the lower grille black. it looks a bit odd the way it is with the silver and black side-by-side look.

I bet you are 8905GT!! ha ha and I agree with soundwave.. that bottom grill would look bad a$$ in black. So I think Im gonna stick with black.. gives me that dark mysterious look. Thanks everyone for the comments
