Opinion on painting grill...

Ok, I have a 2007 G35S 5AT, black obsidian with stone interior. I removed the grill and am going to paint it, but am torn between:

(A) Painting it like the Midnight Black Grill (i.e. all black except Mt. Fuji logo and top and bottom bars).
(B) Painting all black except for Mt. Fuji logo.

Any opinions? I've seen both approaches on this forum and am still undecided.

TIA

Can't go wrong with either A or B.

I bought a midnight grille and love it.

If you plan on painting your headlights, then go all black on the grill. If not, go midnight black style.

They both look good....
JMO, but leaving the chrome bars top & bottom looks too much like an Altima.
but I guess leaving Mt.Fuji chrome helps with that a bit.

I'd go with B, all black except logo
i agree with leaving top & bottom bars looks like an Altima.

I agree for the same reason. Altima is the first thing that comes to mind when I see that grill. It's nice but it says Altima.

There are other cars with 2 tone grill. Like the midnight grille. I think it looks cool from 10-15 feet away. Makes the car look wider.
