Default Painted Grill

The front bumper was repainted and the shop thought it would look better if the grill was painted the same silverstone color. So they painted it with out asking. It looks ok but not great, kinda like braces. Do you guys think I should have it repainted again or just keep it?

Sounds good to me. I have seen a red grill behind a stainless steel billet face. Looked sharp.

If anyone asks say that you had it done on purpose.

Along the same lines, I put a Street Scenes brushed aluminum grill on my car. After a few weeks I didn't really like all that "shinnyness" out front so I painted the grill black. It looks much better in black IMO.
