I have the same color "Black Pearl" and I painted my grille to match the body color.
the honey comb insert is easy to remove and I used a hair dryer to remove the Rams head. I haven't done the head light trim yet and not sure about doing them. I will see if I can find a picture to post. Not sure if Flat black would be a good choice... just my opinion.

I would color match everything grey on the front end all together. The grill, the plastic around the headlights, and even the grill if necessary...just looks 10 times better..
