Black or Silver grille?
What do you guys think looks better on a 98 black CL . A custom silver or black grille? I'm dyin' to change out my stock grille for the "gutter" grille but am wondering which color "gutter" to buy. Saw silver for the first time on a white CL and was impressed. Would like to know what a silver grille would look like on a black car. Just wondering which would look better on black. Any pictures?
Thanks.

yo, after looking at this, you'll want to go with the silver.
are you meshing th e97 or the 98 grill? if its the 98, do you got any tips for a clean install; if its the 97, how mush did you pay for the grill?
Hope ur car ends up like this:

Once you go black you never go back. HAHAHAH
Before I painted mine black I had it in Silver and I thought it stood out tooooooo much. too flashy for me. Black is more sleek and classy.
YBlegal : That car looks familiar.. Thanks for the compliment!!!!

ummmm, this question has been asked like a zillion times, do a search and see what you come up with.
But i might be able to help. First off, you have a 98 grill that is a one piece grill; i tried the whole screen thing also, and it sucked i couldn't get the darn screen to stay on.
well anyways to mesh your grill (and do a good job at it) you'll have to shell out about 100 bucks to buy a 97 grill. the place where i got it was here. now some really good instructions for actually meshing the grill can be found here. well, hope this helps!
