Question Question: Black or Chrome?

So I have been slowly 'blacking out' the truck lately. I put some black westin steps on it, and I am going to do black wheels. I also removed the chrome RAM on the side. When I first got the truck, it had the factory black grill on it, but I replaced it with the factory chrome one. I am also considering purchasing the flat black grill surround from the dealer to paint blue...

But, I have been contemplating putting the black grill back on.
What do you guys think? Here is the truck as it sits now:

If you decide to not use the factory black one and want to sell it I would buy it from you. I have been looking for one with no luck so far.

Personal Opinion: run the black grille shell and keep the grille itself chrome. Nice subtle offset. Paint the bumpers or get a bumper cover body color in the future.

just paint the bumper cover body cover. that will make a big improvement and maybe while you are at it, paint the old grill body color and leave the inserts black
