I think it looks very clean compared to the black. You might try painting/smoking the emblem for a unique look.

i have to agree... the black looks more classy to me... keep the chrome ring with a black grill, other wise your entire front end will be white.... it will be boring... the black grill just looks better.

I think it's gonna come down to what you like best. I've wanted to paint my grill for awhile. Also I think your car would be hot if you painted the new hids black. It would break up the all white thing you got going now.

My wife looked at the white grill and she loved it...even my son loved the white grill so I think it will stay white. For the chrome ring... it matches the sides of the doors so it is a good add on........ But still thinking about it...... I have until Friday to make up my mind..... so keeep giving me suggestions...
Thanks

Well damn it looks like it is dead even at 17 for both. I like the black. Im a fan of painting the grill the same color as the car but I think that it looks like **** on a white car. Thats just my .02

well, I just voted and made it 19 to 19, weeeee, aren't we alot of help, lol. anyway, I like the white, the black looks stock, so if you are going for the stock look, go black, but I like the white. I think its gonna come down to what you really like........as we aren't much help 50/ 50. :-)

id say go with the black, all white makes me think of a cheap paint job, like they could'nt take the time to remove it or tape it like you see on many taxis where they paint over everything. to be technical the stock is actually a greyish color. i hope the shop will order you a new grille and not literally paint it black because it is'nt actually black. if they tried to do that to me i'd go nuts,make sure they take care of you.
