Default Need some opinions about what color to use to paint my grille
UPDATED page 2!


I'm thinking about painting my grille @ a body shop. But I'm not sure what color tho.. my car is a 2010' is350 Obsidian. I'm thinking about painting it all "Obsidian" or Black Onyx?? any opinions?

if you've got black pearl "L", i think either obsidian or black pearl grille would look best. if you've got chrome "L", id go with black pearl grille since its like a blend of the chrome emblem and color of the car.
