I'm not a big fan of chrome but I think it looks better as it is right now. If you decide you want to do it just plastidip it first and if you don't like it you can peel it right off.

FWIW, the inside of the grille is silver, not chrome. At least on mine it is. Making the center black doesn't reduce any actual chrome :D

I personally think making the inside black cheapens the look of the front end. I would color match the surround before turning the center black. YMMV

I like the black. It does seem to be a little to much chrome. My grill is different then yours. Black better for your grill. I never heard of Platidip before I found this site. If it comes off I would try that before painting so you can try it out for a while and see if you like it.

I like the looks myself, but then again, look at my truck :lol5:

Dip it or leave the tape on for a while.

Ultimately it doesn't matter what others think what matters is if you like it or not.
