so its finally painted and together...Im not sure if I keep the center aluminum, or get it powder coated a flat black....whats everybodys thoughts?

 

Don't paint it . looks great

 

Ditto....

Cajun / Al

 

Keep it, I think it matches up with the wheels well.

 

I think it looks great!!! One thing you might try....HomeDepot sells black screen material( like for a screen door) it hides what is behind the grill, and helps it "stand" a little better for about 6 bucks. This is just a sugestion.. Ithink it looks great as is....

 

Mike-

I think if you powder it flat black it will kind'a disappear.
I'd leave it as-is. Looks very unique..

Well Done mod...

 

I don't know if this might help visualize what the grill would look like if it was painted black.




It looks really good as it is, but whats making me confused as to what to go with is that you have some accents painted in a lighter grey, but some more subtle ones in black as well.

Its one of those things you need to decide from about 20ft from the car comparing what each one would look like.

 

Clear coat the hell out of it.

 

I don't know?
You asked for opinions...
It looks like the stuff that keeps the leaves out of my gutters.
I like the stock grill personally.
I would at least paint it, but I would be afraid dead bugs would take the paint off.

 

I want ! How much if you could make one exactly like that with the powercoated black center grill. I have the same paint body color too.
