To do or not to do? I'm getting tired of the chrome, and it's the only chrome found on my car. I would get it sprayed with rhino liner or something similar.

I think it looks good as is. Whatever you do, don't rhino liner it...that looks terrible. Maybe paint it grey? It's cool for the grille to offset by something.

Nah dont do it. Get jewels to match the chrome, don't do stuff to your car just to do it, it looks freaking hot as is.

The thing is that I HATE CHROME. The first thing that I'd do with Jewels is take the bezels out and get them sprayed black. I was even thinking about getting the grille sprayed a gunmetal color or something like that.

i think that would look much more balanced

Matt, go ahead and black it out. If you don't like it, I'll trade you. Was taking this route anyway, so you better hurry.

Or we could just do yours, since you were planning on it...and see how it comes out. :)

I'd leave it chrome but that's because I don't mind a little bit of chrome. lol Black would probably look good and match with the lip though.

What about colour matched?

get a scuff pad and make it look like a brushed aluminum. All black grill doesn't look right on the silver car.
