Alright i want to get a new front grill from my car. OEM badge with vanes is just so...boring. However I am in a predicament.

I woudl like a mesh style, it looks alot nice and etc etc. But I feel an all balck mesh style would look very bland. I relaize a clena look is nice but you need to have some contrast.

This is why, I believe, Honda has the chrome trim around the stock grill. Ideally if I could switch to mesh and keep the chrome it would be great but I am unsure if this will indeed look good or how ot go about it. I have 3 options.

1. Mesh style, all black


2. Mesh style, paint mesh black and then paint on my own chrome and hope it stays shiny.


3. Mesh grill with Chrome already installed I do not know if this is just paint or liek plasticy chrome and i owudl still have teh paint teh white parts black.



Now before this gets heated up I know chrome can be tacky but that is only if you chrome everything out, I just want enough to provide contrast.

As always please comment, criticize, etc etc.

 

i vote choice 1. but color match the trim

 

I second choice 1

 

^ yuck, dont do that wouldnt not flow with the car at all.

 

I agree with sfazngiants. Color match the trim, leave the mesh black.

 

Never heard of an SS Honda, but I've got a Civic logo to the right of mine. I STRONGLY urge against using the chrome looking grille. You want color matched. I wanted to stay with the stock looking chrome outside and a black mesh. It just didn't look good.

 

dont put chrome end of story. just color match the black one.

and you mean the SI emblem, your car isnt an SI so dont try and pretend it is.
