POLL : black grille vs stock chrome grille

So I am considering painting my OE grille glossy/matte black. I did a quick photoshop to see how it would look. Which one do you guys like better?

Black makes it stand out from the sea of chrome Mercs and Lexus. I plan to give my grill some attention eventually.

I plastidipped my grill black with the emblem too and I think it looks good, better than the ugly chrome. I blacked out all the chrome on my car, looks much better.

could try black chrome paint, but you'll need to sand down the emblem, prime, black gloss paint, then black chrome paint on top of that.
