Yea or Nay on lower grille???

I'm not BIG on all these knick knack add ons but I liked this in the original picture I saw from Carlsson. So here it is on mine. Don't mind the 3tabs on the bottom. I did not screw the center grille in yet.

Idk I think its cool, and much better than the plastic stock one, but maybe if if were black that would be better, although the paint will probably erode quickly.

nay, pretty much what everyone else said. maybe in black, but the extra chrome is not helping the situation here. looks like you are cheaping the car instead of the opposite. maybe its the pic though, but it just looks cheap imo, even though i am sure its not!!!

Any way you can make the mesh part of the front grill have the same stuff? That might look better.

Center section painted black would be OK. But I would have to see the grills around the fogs in person, and they would also of course need to be black. The chrome is to bling for me.
