Painted front and side grill vs Black thoughts?

Just interested on everyone's thoughts. I leaning more towards black on YMB.

definately black. I was back/forth as well between the two. I am glad I went black. It will go well if you also get the blacked-out badge in the back with CF diffusers and Exhaust tips if you plan to get MPE or any other after-market exhaust systems. It changes the whole look of the car.

Agreed that front end would look even better with the LED headlights.

I'm going for black kidney, black side gill and black painted/coated exhaust tips, and black wheels, with Moonstone (similiar to SS) exterior.

I'm confused... you don't get contrast from the vertical slats in the grill? Wouldn't body colored grill surrounds still have contrast but just two or less inches in another direction?

Black. You can do the tri colors on the kidney on the YMB and it looks pretty good
