In your guys' opinions, which grill do you think looks better and cleaner on a black car. Please post below your opinions. I would give picture credit to these photos, but I found these on Google images and am using my phone to post this:

Get a can of black spray paint for plastic and a flat head screw driver and make it happen. The grill pops out with no tool required in a couple minutes and the chrome strips snap off like Lego pieces. I did mine in a half hr.
Mine was done in satin black to match the wheels at the time

Satin black is matte black right? if not, what is the difference, so I can decide which one looks better? The reason why I would only wanna black out the white plastic parts and not the chrome stripes is because on a black car, chrome looks really good. If I had a white car, I would black out all chrome.
MBZ also sells the sports grille in silver (like yours) or gloss black. From the dealer they are about $ 375 but factory parts can also be found on E Bay new for the grille in black at about 275
But it is really so east to remove and paint your self I did not see any reason to buy one. Mine came out great.
Here is a link to the black grille if you dont want to paint yours - $ 10 for a can of paint or 175 for a replacement grille

or the one I swapped to

the pics of my car are the stock grille painted balck with the chrome strips and the single bar grille replacement
I also agree that the chrome against the black car looks good as long as it is kept to minimum IMO. But the occ silver painted stuff is out of place - grille, wheels
