I currently have matte black grille and black carbon fiber badges. I'm thinking of going back to the stock grilles and back to stock badges. What do you think? I kinda like the chrome edges against the grille with the white body color. I'm not going shadow because I may sell the car soon.

I like the black grill on a white car, but as you said, the chrome against the car looks good. So I want to change my vote to YES! And you seem to be questioning yourself by adding the "?" to the "No." But maybe thats just a typo, or not. I dont know.

I think I'll try to find my old grilles and put them on tonight to see how it looks.

Actually I think the painted grilles (like member Alpinewhite) would look great on your car. Just my op.

Threw my original chrome grilles straight in the trash as soon as I'd replaced them with the black ones

Stock grilles and badges look great with your car's color.

It's true, they do look acceptable on a white car.
