Default painted stillen front grill?

I need opinions... i have a Black Z with the JDM clear side markers and the stillen mesh grill.
do you think it would look better powdercoated black? instead of the silver?

could someone do a photoshop on the black Z with a black stillen grill to see what it would look like.

I'm contemplating it because i am having the wheels powdercoated black as well and want that stealth look...

thanx in advance

Travis


ps. should i do my brakes in red or is that too (i wanna have a big brake kit but i cant afford it) look?

yes i strongly suggest you powdercoat the grille. i powdercoated mine gunmetal to better match my car and rims. my calipers are also painted red with g2 caliper paint. (it seems like we have similar taste and ideas )

yes indeed. do you have any pics of the front of the car with the grill powdercoated?

I have the calliper paint made by dupont (same process as the G2) is it comparable?
