My vote would be black grills, chrome rings and badge in usual location.

The surround on my grille is matte black, not glossy. Looking at your third pict, I think I actually prefer the matte finish. I also say powder coat the mesh. In the future, I may also get a matte black lower grille, as it now doesn't match up with the upper grille.

Again, I wasn't too crazy about it at first, but it's grown on me and I really like it a lot.

Ditto- would look great!

And is it just me, or does the blacked-out grille look bigger than the stock grille?

Yes, I noticed that in your picts; quite nice, especially on the green.

I would have to agree with ricoblanco.

Will try to post some closer picts of it this weekend.
