OK, now I've had a chance to see it.
My opinion is to shadowline the car and black out the grille. But at least your grille treatment is consistent with the chrome trim on your ride.

Looks great. Great job. I'd prefer matte black, but that's just me.

You don't get any love for chrome around here. But do whatever you want as long as you're happy, it's your car and money anyway.

I didn't realize you added MORE chrome. OK, I guess you're one of the few here that prefers chrome. I had the standard window and grill chrome on mine when I bought it. They were the first thing to go. I didn't want to be seen in a car with chrome on it, what would the neighbours think. I could never live it down
