Help me decide

Hello, leaving TSX land and returning to TL for 09. I am buying a Basque red TL and am going to get the beak painted. Should I just paint the beak, or the beak and surrounding grille.(all the gray) I lean leaning towards just the beak? Any advise, opinions welcome.

Leave the front grill alone and paint the rear smiley face.

I love the darker colors witht he entore grille and back lip painted, just leave the A chrome and paint the rest, it looks really good. Get some black wheles and the car will look hot.

Personally, I would just paint the beak and leave the surround alone.....painting the whole thing makes it look too much like a Camry for me.

The other alternative is to replace the whole grill with like what RonJon has cooking in the near future.

The whole thing needs to be painted.

Thanks guys but I think I will go with just the beak painted for the time being. If the ron jon grille looks like that pic, I am all for that
