Thinking about painting the grille black (Feedback?)

Im really feeling the need to customize the TL. There is a lot of them on the road.

Now

xdaily- my is worth, dont paint it black. I understand your desire to customize it, but that front piece is too beautiful and way to EYE CATCHING to paint it IMHO. If you really want to set if off, get the A-SPEC and start there. Now granted the black piece looks great on the WDP, but thats because it doenst stand out as much on other colors..anyway..

Undecided

keep in mind Ive got the little chrome trim peices in the lower grille and door
handles so the whole car wont look to washed out if the grille is black. Ive also
got chrome center caps on order for the rims.

On the Red both would be OK, but I vote Body Color. It'll be sick.

Another vote here for body color....I would do black only if you were going to go all out with a red/black theme throughout your car. (Like black rims)
