Holy Crap...."Great Look'in Grille!"

You're asking for opinions so here's mine, for the class look paint it the same
color as your car. We've seen this done on wheels and I think it would work
on your "very cool" grille toooooo! If you want to do another one I'll trade
you + $ of course I'd have issues with what color to paint it too....
Chris, what color are you painting your grille....satin black?

i did the bumps so I want to get as close to OEM as possible to show them off. if i don't like it though, i'll go with a satin/semi-gloss black and call it a day.

I've already seen bigc's primed and his looks sweet.
