Grills on Crimson, Black Red

Well wasn't sure what i was going to do with my car.

Picked up a set of someones OEM grills, grilles, kidneys and tried a few things, so here are my pics in case someone else is looking for an idea before they go out and start working on things themselves.

1st time, gloss surround, matte verticals (home paint job)

currently, crimson red painted surrounds and black matte verticals (done at shop)

sorry the install pics were in the dark...

here are the pics...

all can be seen here...

The chrome needed to go! Haha I like both the painted and matte black grills! Both go well with the red.

Nice, its funny that I actually had mine AW painted too. I think it looks better painted to match your vehicle when you don't have a lot going on. I decided recently to go back to performance black grill, because I have too much going on in the front and needed some contrast.

IMO - I would just sport that red on black look until you get bored of it!

Both options look great!
Just personal preference, I would go with all black because in the pics the red doesn't seem to match 100% but it could be the pics!
