the grill is already going to be painted like a gloss black. just like this one.

Will look good gloss black. Still think body color would be better but the black will be more custom!

I've always been a bigger fan of the color matched grilles. I think the black bowtie and possibly a black grille insert would look best. Not that the black grille would look bad, but its just my opinion that a color matched car/truck always looks cleanest.

Color-match, FTW. Either color will look better than that ***-tom grille.
