My first choice would be the matching red color but other wise my second choice would be black

X2 for Red. It would set off the black grill mesh better and the headlights are tinted so same effect.

considering that your fender flares and door trim is black, i'd go with that. especially with dark tinted windows and your black and red front license plate.

Black with red inserts would look sharp. I bet you'll get a bunch of compliments.

The black night runner look would be cool but I think color match is the way to go.
