Midnight Grill or Not???

So I'm on the fence about buying it for my G. Those who have one, any regrets? How's it holding up ie. stone chips and stuff?

Think I should stay stock??

way too expensive for what you get. I think it makes the grille look smaller too. If you like the look. just plastidip the middle bars black. I prefer the all black grille though.

Plastidip is the safest way, just in case you change your mind. Honestly, I think it would look nice, but would look even better if you had more black accents on your car.

I would paint it yourself, in the midnight grill look, if you are not blacking out more features. The chrome accents give some contrast and still flow with the accents around the car.
Do it all black but only if you are blacking out most of the features such as headlights and other chrome and possibly even new wheels.

midnight always reminds me of the not-so-good-looking Altima.
All black +10

^ try DIY first if you like it then think about getting the grill, the grill has held up great over the past 2 years and the chips are not visible at all thanks to the metallic flakes in the paint, overall the grill has been and is holding up great!

Iv'e had mine for over two years, it is holding up really good. No cracks or chips in it. But I got it at a really good price for 220 when it first came out.
