Default Stock grill

My bumper was repainted due to rock chips a while ago, and the grill was painted along with everything else.

Should I leave it the way it is? Or paint it gloss black?

What are your guys' opinions on this?

And don't ask about the f'd up b-ball hoop in the back. That thing is getting ripped down pretty soon.

Do you think it looks kinda bad as it is right now?

I've also thought about painting only the tow-hook hole cover area black. Would this be a good idea? Or just go all black?

The left side? It's strong, ha.

It can hold a sh*tload, no lie. The amount of snow you see in the picture is nothing compared to what we usually get.

I'd paint it matte black. If you try to strip it the black plastic is likely to get discolored.

Explain please? I've taken the bumper off numerous times, and the passenger side needs to be fixed, but what's wrong with the driver side?

It looks good IMO .. everybody and their cousins have black grille ...so, +1 for being unique...

On the other hand, is it just me or your hood doesn't line up smooth to the front bumper??
