Post your body colored factory grill pictures

I am getting a dent taken out of the passenger side of my car. I am contemplating getting my grill painted body colored while it is at the body shop. I have seen some pics of body colored grills but I'm not 100% sure If I should get my grill done.

By the way I think that a painted grill looks best on White!

No way... well, really, a toss up.

Your car looks very nice the way it is already!

I say paint it the grey stands out more now that you have a front lip. If you painted it black the car would look more agressive. You could always take some black tape and cover the grill and look at the car from a distance to see what it would look like if you painted the grill body colored.

I want to do this so bad, but i just can't talk myself into doing it. The main reason is that plastic fades differently then metal when painted, and it's just not something i want to have to deal with in 4/5 years. It looks so hot on white too.

Oh man, now you guys got me thinking! I've been trying to figure out what to do with my grill for a couple weeks now. I don't like the Trenz too much, and with the rusting and the whole zip tie thing I don't like the grille-tech ones either. But my car is white! It's a 2k3 in Glacier Pearl I think they call it. (Looks alot like MaxedOut2g's...just not nearly as badass. ) You think I should paint it white?
