To black the grill or not to black the grill?

[horacioad]

To be honest, the black one looks like it doesnt belong there, like you couldn't afford to paint it. I have the same exact vehicle and I think that the silever looks better. Take a look at the chrome, I wish I had an LR4, grill that I replaced mine with. But, remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I want to make mine black. I also want the center section of the bumper to match and paint the outside corners of the bumper bodycolor. All this with the blacked out headlights I have!! But I am very near putting an arb on it so I haven't taken the time to even try it.

I like the black.

I like the black too, If you could do it with a non-glossy paint that almost made it look like black plastic instead of glossy I think it would look great. Or maybe it would be cheaper to buy an unpainted black one and stick it on? One reason I didn't go for a light color is because I didn't care too much for the painted grill and bumper sticking out so much. I wonder what it would look like if you painted the bumper black and left the grill silver?

I like the all black bumper. When it comes time to replace mine I plan to leave it unpainted black.

It's easy enough to spray paint a replacement part with a can of flat black laquer. I did mine and it covered amazingly well and has a matte finish. Also, it has held up well to wear and weather over 3 years.

Both black but the outer corners body color! I think it looks real good though..
