GrillTech on Gray Lustre....should I paint chrome or black?

I have a grill tech grill now but I'm not happy with the gray color.
I was thinking black or chrome. Can anyone with a grilltech maybe photoshop what it would look like?

wel painting it black won't really have it stand out much, if at all...

I mean if you want to show it off -- chrome would be the way to go but then it would look funny all alone

I have a black JMS grille on my ride. Fits my overall scheme well...should look fine on a grey max, just add the emblem.

Oh yes....an emblem will be added. I did have a maxima emblem on it but after the snowstorm last week it disappeared. I do have an extra though.

You and your "Bling Bling". Sheesh. When are you going to replace your grille with gold bars?

I suppose I could paint it black.
My friend was telling me I should take to machine shop and get it chrome plated. That would look cool too.
