Need opinions on which grille to go with

I am having a hard time making a decision on which grille I want to go with so I thought I would get some opinions on what others thought. I have been purchasing some mods for my front end so I could have them painted and installed at the same time, I have a heritage grille to be painted, a bowtie and fog light bezels already painted thanks to Lupe, and will be ordering a NLP rear spoiler. The only thing I cant decide on is which lower grille to go with. The choices are the black 4mm powdercoated lower grille from street scene or the black 4mm powdercoated lower grille with black ducts. See attached pics. Which do you think will look better? If you like the one with ducts, would you leave them black or paint them? Thanks.

If you go with the ducts I would say paint them to match whatever you have the grill painted. So both blue or both black.

I mean we're talking two different cars. The first is an SS with a different lip on it, that might actually look good with the scoops at the bottom - with that lip, leaving them black.

The second is a V6, that IMO doesnt look good with the ducts because there's just nothing else around their that justifies them.....

So to sum it up, with the lip off the first pic - ducts. If you don't have a lip - don't get the ducts....

Yes, the second is a v6, it was the only ABM I could find that had the grille with ducts and a painted heritage grille.
