I like the white on white better. Would look better with black aluminum billet grills to replace stock.

THanks, a black aluminum grille on bottom and top would be too much black since i already have the front bumper black it would look nice if my front bumper wasnt already. Painted black. Im going to repaint the stock grille white and black like i have already.

Yeah that might make it better. I just know that I couldn't yank the factory grills out quick enough when I bought mine they are so hideous imo.
My car is all white and black looks real clean. Hoping to get some ideas how to black out the chrome window moldings then I think I'll be content with it.

Machine and black, leave the grille as-is and paint the inside of the headlights. I want to go with white on inside of headlights but am undecided on black as well.

Yeah man, really undecided as to what to go with but if I'm you I'm looking at tinting the turn signals on the mirrors and baking headlights and painting

Not sure to go with black to match with your wheel and wheel lip or white to tie it in with the grille, but that's for you to decide haha. either way it's a good problem to have. whip looks great man, happy modding

leave the wheels as is, and change the grille, the chrome around the windows and door handles helps everything else.
