To Paint or not to Paint
Just bought heritage grill for my 2012 IBM 1LT. Right now it is currently the black satin color. My question is should I leave it or paint it IBM?

Can't go wrong either way. Mine is painted to match.

Looks good either way, but if it were me, I'd go painted body color, and delete the bowtie for the clean look! Like post #2!

I'd paint it, i think the Heritage grill looks just a little more classy painted.

Not gonna lie, it may look cool but anyone that knows will just say "Damn, that kid is too lazy to have that thing painted?"

I installed mine unpainted and don't like it. It's about to come out and get painted. the unpainted "black" is more like CGM to me and it definately wasn't the look I was going for.
I recommend either paint it IBM, or black. Do not leave it raw. This is the best pic I have, the grill just looks CGM to me. Not a fan.

I left mine unpainted to match the lower grille.
