Default grill inserts opinion

As I have recently found, drywall backing as opposed to gutter guard makes the best cheap grill inserts. Now my question as a matter of opinion is. . .with a black r/t shoudl I go with silver inserts similar to badstrats pics, or should I paint them black to have dark look? I am thinking more silver for the "that's not stock" look, but I was wondering what everyone thinks.

i'm thinking blacked out, unless you plan on the silver/chrome trim(tint, taillights, wheels) then the silver would go good. send some pic's. good luck.

I agree...post PICTURES!!!!!

However, I myself was thinking of the black grill too....but something we need to be aware of is the rocks that bounce up and ding it....and pretty soon you have black with silver showing thru......if we could find a good way to prevent it....sounds good to me!

I should be able to get the new inserts done this weekend, I decided to go with black, and if it sucks, there is plenty of material left to go with silver. As soon as it's don't I'll get some pics of everything posted. Due to the fact that I work to much, and Michigan weather sucks it might take me a week or so, but I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Good call on the black! Sorry the pictures suck as it's raining again. When the weather clears up (maybe next month according to the weather man) I'll get some descent pics up.

Yeah it downpoured in Farmington. I don't think the tire is low, it's just in an inch of water! I am gunna make some silver ones after the damn cuts on my hands heal up, who would think working with metal and tin snips would cut up your hands?
