Default Which Grille Insert?
On a Super Black touring, which would look better? Polished or black powder coated grille insert?

I wanted black and chrome/silver look and added a billet grill. I still have to get rid of the orange slices in the headlights and add some tint.

Did either of you guys have to remove the bumper or cut anything to get the grill in there?

I got mine on ebay. I don't remember the price though. I liked it because it was nice and simple.

Remove the bumper? No.

Cut anything? Yes - the stock plastic using a hacksaw blade. You can't even see where the stock one was cut out.

I went with the black/race grille from grille-tech.com. With the smoked marker I think it give it a much better/clarer look.

What about needing the car towed? Is there a grill that will allow the use of the tow "ring"?
