Paint match DMM front grill?

Hey guys,

First off my TL is pretty much stock right now but I have the Aspec kit ready to be put on and a tint appointment.

Here's my dilemma: I have to get the new front bumper I ordered painted(I got into a fender bender) and I was think of paint matching the outer trim pieces of the grill to DMM also.

Here are the options I was thinking:
1.) Paint match the outer trim pieces to DMM
2.) Wrap the outer trim pieces in black gloss vinyl also
3.) Leave the outer trim pieces stock.

I already have black gloss vinyl for the center bar.

What do you guys think?
I'm trying to go for a more aggressive look and I though it might look unique with the color matching.

Some people have color matched the gray part just above the V trim. Personally I think that looks great. But for the V trim-hood trim itself, id leave that alone as well as the cross bar. Vinyl can look really nice on those parts and plasti-dip can look good as well.
