Should I paint black or leave stainless. This was a perfect fit. No cutting.

Nice thing about the lower grille mod is that it's cheap and easy, so paint one black and see if ya dig it.

Mine's staying silver.

I've had it both ways and decided on stainless. The problem with black is it didn't stand out. I guess black= stealth and stainless= bling....your choice.

For what it's worth, I've installed 2 and the plain galv. mesh left UNpainted is not noticable. I can tell you it definitely cuts down on the road debris going in to the various radiators/heat exchangers' fins.

I did mine red, (to match the rest of the add ons), I like it.

Having seen it in person, I can tell you it's NOT noticeable, 'specially if ya go with a deep red. It does look pretty good, if you're of the 'red' mindset.

For me, the only red I have on the car is the brake calipers.

How will you attach this? BTW leave it unpainted.

They slide right in after you remove a couple bolts under the bumper. No trimming, and no mounting necessary.

I left mine stainless. Took about 15 minutes to install.

Stainless and FWIW shoot it now with a rattle can of the brightest silver enamel on the shelf - it won't rust but will lose it's lustre in 1 year (or winter driving even sooner)...

I tried it black and didn't like the "look". Stay silver.
