So what's everybody doing to theirs now that we are starting to get them? I got mine, and want it to coordinate with the lower grille. But I really don't like the idea of the grilles themselves being painted. I was just going to paint the surround around the grill body color (gloss black) but the semi-metallic grey of the grille itself mat look dumb! Amy thoughts on this? Buehler???

YES, I have a black car, so do we leave them alone for contrast? paint to match? paint center silver like 69? friend install on Yellow and left it alone for contrast, not bad.

Has anyone painted their heritage grill either body color black or flat black? I am trying to decide which way to go.

Thanks.

my advise to everyone who is undecided whether to paint or leave as is...get the grill and leave it stock, since you will have to remove the fascia anyway to install the grill, install it and loosely install the fascia back on and if you like the look, tighten everything up. If not, take it off and get it painted.
