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.

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"?
