Thanks man! I actually went back to the gloss black after the votes started coming in. However, after a few short days, I looked at the front and felt like it was missing something again. The switch between both styles continued for a couple days. (sad...I know...lol)

I finally decided to go down another suggested route and try the chrome slats with gloss black frame. Honestly, I think I'm finally 99% happy.
I have a feeling that once the new wheels are on, they'll set everything in place.

Thanks very much! I know exactly what you mean. I actually do have more chrome on the car, the window trim + exhaust tips, just not visible in the original photo post.

Where can I get the full gloss black kidney grills? I notice eBay has me for $120. I thought that was pretty high. Anywhere else

I personally really like the chrome and that's what I voted for. All black seems like too much black since your car is black as well. Different colored car would be a different story.

You should just get an extra set of black kidney frames and keep the chrome ones laying around. You'll eventually get bored and would want to mix it up once in awhile. That's what I did with corner blinkers on my other car. I'd get bored and just mix it up once in awhile to keep the car always looking 'fresh'
