Default color matched Grille surrounding ?

I'm thinking of getting the grille surrounding for my Ultra White 250.

Should I get the Ultra White color to blend in the car or the Obsidian to match with the grille?

I would go with Obsidian or a really dark gray (the grill is not really black but like charcoal) to make the grill look slightly bigger and will highlight the top line and corners better on the hood/bumper = more aggressive IMO.

Or, is it nothing more than a ABS type of material that overlays the original, with 3M adhesive?

might be cheaper for you to have the chrome part vinyl wrapped

but my vote's obsidian or nebula gray

Don't need to. . With a couple hours you can do it. See my plastidip thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...and-grill.html

I emailed Sewell and they responded saying that it is a complete replacement. The chrome comes off and the color is installed. Interested to see how that install works

Yeah, I emailed Sewell and asked for installation instruction but look like they don't have it.
