Default Need opinions for Front Emblem w/ 09 F-Sport Grille (w/ pictures)

Deciding whether to stick with the Black Pearl or Switch back to chrome. I have the black pearls on the back. What do you guys think?

I prefer the chrome. Matches your grille surround and provides better contrast.

Either go back to the chrome and have the contrast or paint the surround black or better yet color match both.

BP on back and leave chrome to match surround on the front.

Don't mix and match emblems. If you're gonna go with black pearl, get the front and grille surround in black pearl too.

I'd say leave it or color match your grille.

Thanks for the input. I'm probably going to stick with the black pearl and get either a color matched grille surround or the black pearl one. The problem I can already see with the black pearl surround is fading in 1-2 years whereas the color matched could endure chips. Leaning more towards white grille surround right now.. Has anyone seen these 2 combinations (white/black pearl or black pearl/black pearl) on this forum?
