Body colored grill? Or black?
Hey I bought a beat up bowtie grill, so I have to repaint it. My car is midnight blue with silver stripes. Would body colored grill with silver bowtie look better than black grill with silver bowtie? what do you guys think?

I side that. No matter what colour you have it always looks better with the black grill.

I think it really depend on the paintjob quality and color. Post a pic of your car if you don't mind.

I've got body color, sometimes i've thought of changing it to black with a silver bowtie... still undecided though.

Also, if you go with a black grill, I would go with the black headlight buckets as well. If your buckets are already black, then deffinitely get the black grill.

Yeah that's the thing. Sorry I don't have pics of it yet, but it just got a HUGE makeover so I can't wait to post pics. Anyways, it's midnight bluish green, with silver heritage style stripes. So that's the thing, I definitely don't want black headlight buckets with the silver stripes, it would just throw it off. I know I want the bowtie silver.
Thing is, with the exception of my black door handles, the whole car is midnight/silver, but for some reason I'm still leaning towards black. Just by looking at other cars. But yeah, if it wasn't for the stripes, no question, I'd have black headlight pockets and grill without a doubt
