Should I or should I not, paint grill black.

I am in the process of buying a grill and painting it black, but for some reason I am in denial. What do you guys think, should I do this? If I do, I might actually want to black out my side markers also. Anyone know how to do that, or where to get the vinyl from?

you can get either from blue_batmobile.

you can also get black sidemarkers from ebay:

BUT, imho, if you smoke the corners and black out your grille, i think you should black out your headlights, too.

Cant really do the blacked out headlights, since I will be giving the car back once the 08 comes out.

+1! I DO NOT like the black corners. The clear corners blend in with the paint. Why would you want them to stick out?

I like the replacement grills better than the blacked out ones, they just seem to match better when the lines of the car as do the clear corners. The black corners can look pretty sick on a dark grey G though.
