In light of my new front bumper. I changed out my front grill earlier. I don't know if I fully like it or not.
Also, I think the main reason why my OEM grill looked fine was because of the license plate.
I eventually will have to put the license plate back, so do you think it will clash with the grills?
What do you guys think?

I like the matte grills. I wonder what it looks like with your wheels.....if you have some chrome in your wheels, you may want to keep the OEMs....Your color is awesome and both blend well with your enitre setup..I can see why it's a tough call. You won't go wrong either way, simply because your car is MINT.

I might be the only one, but I like the chrome better. It also matches your wheels better.
