paint oem grill or rock the gialla

help me decide on either painting the stock grill gloss black or getting a gialla
this would be on an IP coupe w/ sport bumper, 20% tint, future body mod would include a nismo diffuser. mt. fuji emblem would be left on either one, however they will probably be replaced with black chrome ones soon

Gloss black might be overkill on the IP. I think a satin or semi gloss grille would look better. It'll match better with the lower mesh grilles.

^agreed..Gloss is a bit too much. Go semi, or satin. It will sit better with the car. G/L

I just painted my stock grill. However it is OB. Not sure how it would look on a IP. If cost isnt a factor Id go with the aftermarket.
