Help me with my grill!

I'm trying to decide if I should paint the trim piece of my grill black to match the car, or wrap it in vinyl to give it that premium look. Here are quick chops to get an idea:

Blacked out:


Chrome wrapped:


The car from the side:


I love the blacked out look, but I also like how the chrome kinda flows with the rest of the car since the window trims are chrome as well as the door handles.

I'm torn. Opinions?

Also, is there a large Acura emblem for sale somewhere? I've been searching and the biggest I found was 3" which is kinda small in that grill. I want something to fill the gap like in the photoshop pics.

I think I like the chrome wrapped to match the existing chrome pieces. For the emblem, you could send it off to a 3D printing guy and he could scale it to the size you want.
