Default Grille swap, opinions?

All black, black eyes, black grille, color match desert sand? Seriously undecided. Opinions appreciated.

Negative ghostbrider that'd look terrible.


I'm pretty sure the lower trim level came in black trim and the higher ones came color matches. Don't you wanna look classy!

Color match. You should make a poll for this. Way easier.

I say all black, repaint your end caps and side molding so they look new. than paint your flares black too. and MAYBE even your rockers. I'd probably only do the rockers if you take the molding off. that's just me tho. I think it'd look great.
