Help me decide which grille.

I'm obviously partial to the silver.

Silver will pop with your vista blue. That is currently what I have. Black will look more discreet.

On Vista Blue I would go polished. However, if you are running black wheels, the black grill would tie it all together better.

Generally, I believe trim accents and metal finishes should all be similar.

Lastly, I see so much black being used on cars now, it's becoming overkill. Black wheels, blacked out lights, etc.

Depends on how you want the car to look, like someone said above. Black = stealthy polished = not

I have to say, I agree with Antigini....depends on the look you want. However, if it were my car, I'd go with polished on a blue car.

I have the black upper and lower grilles. The fit is great and they looked great new, but they seem to chip very easily and mine look like chit now. My carriage Works Black billet grille on my F150 has many many more miles on it and there is not one chip in it. I don't think the Shelby grilles are powder coated or maybe I just got some from a bad batch? Something to think about.

I have decided, Silver. The Black is too understated for me.

The only problem is Ohio uses Laser and I will give the police a huge target now. I wanted to Veil the headlights. I guess that is out.

I'm more into the stealthy look, flashy doesn't do it for me.
