Red or black might not be too bad.

bro, if you want to paint it do it in body match paint or else leave it the way it is. If that was me i would keep it the way it is.

I think the black would look ok but would require other mods to pull it off.. it would look too aggressive if everything else is stock

I would just leave it the way it is. The paint will just chip over time.

If you paint it red, definitely do the second with the chrome Acura.

Don't like the black or the medium gray.

The last one, toned down silver is OK. I guess you would have to custom clear bra the paint job. I think, typically they leave the chromed plastic unprotected in the PPF patterns

I would paint it, but if I was you I would find a specialty shop to cut a piece of M3 tape to put over it. Like Chas2 said, it would chip over time and that would prevent it.

Agree. Leave the grill as is.

If you really want to make a statement, get some new 19" wheels...

...and sell me yours before you put too many more miles on them.
