BRZ Modified mesh grille

I am having a hard time deciding which color to go with, I like both black and silver but eventually I will have to choose only one. Which one would you prefer if you had the option?

Black mesh grille




Silver mesh grille

depends on the color of the vehicle, but I always liked black grills. If I can take off the "Mustache" and replace it with a big grill, I'd do it!

The silver looks cheap like mesh people use to build chicken coops.

Definitely the black, would look better in front of the bars if there was a clean way to do it.

Not gonna lie, I think it looks good either way. Adds a little more style to the front end. Though I would say black unless you plan on adding more silver accents to the car, like fender vent trim or something.

Nothing much to update, I decided to go with the black grille. I painted it black and used clear plasti dip on it. I am not sure what material I am using, I just purchased it through home depot and cut it myself.

Where do you live? I have 4 extra pieces that are cut to fit the BRZ front bumper.
