Sometimes black grills cheapen the look of the front end. It really depends on the color of the exterior. I your case it will probably look alright with blackend out grills.

Small price to pay for a set of black grill. If you decide you don't like it then go back to chrome. Change it up once in awhile.

That pic isn't the best. The grills were only primed black. Now i sprayed them black, They are darker and have a glossy look. It looks way better then in the pic.
