Default Opinion on a long waited mod

Not really a mod, but check this link out

http://www.minagallery.com/jagxp/Jag...sh%20grill.htm

The new 08 style grille, Im planning on getting it. But what do you guys think will look better, if i have the upper and lower mesh painted black, or leave the mesh the color it is?

My cars black by the way.

ps If i paint it black, I might through a decipticon logo, on in the corner, it would be very small though. Or a R

Can't remember if you have chrome parts...if not then all black would be great. If you do have chrome in the bumpers, etc then leave the mesh as is. In either case, no add ons!

You also posted a few messages about your missing leaper , perhaps a blacked out leaper would be a some sort of condiment to it lol ( I always prefer chrome )

A blacked out leaper may not stand out though. I was think I have two options, i black the car out, possibly the tail lights, and leave the chrome leaper, or just leave all the chrome and dont black anything out. Do you guys remember ManeFresh's car, i want a look like that.

Personally, I think the old grill works with a leaped, the new doesn't. The newer grill makes the leaper look a little too gaudy for me....but it's purely personal aesthetics

ya thats true. well my plan is this, i take the leaper off, badge it up, black out the front, and build halos for her, im thinking a evil red halo or a blue, and in the night....shell look like shes just waiting to kill... what do you guys think

They dont make halos for our vehicles, but the ideo behind is so simple and easily, and its les thn 5 bucks to build 4 sets, only probelm is wiring it into the cars wiring
