Polished metal metallic

I’ve got a 2010 ua9 in polished metal metallic. I live the car and the color. But I’m exploring options in regards to all the silver trim. I know color matching is the go-to. But I want to try something different. My usual thing to to go black everywhere, but I can’t seem to get comfortable with that on this one. I think it’s mainly because the grille is so big. It seems like blacked out would just make this void in the front end. Does anyone have any experience with this color and any insight on options? Thanks

I’ve been looking at them and it makes me think it’s viable, I just keep stressing how big the grille is lol. Like I know it’ll work everywhere else on the car. I’m thinking if I do it in a nice gloss black and leave the emblem chrome it may work out.

Or do it in reverse and leave the beak silver and paint the surround to make it look more like a TLX...

Color matching is the go-to for a reason.

It looks by far the best.
