I personally don't like that look. The main reason is it's hard to see.

People have been known to turn left in front of trucks with black grilles like that, because they cant see them untill it's too late, myself included.

Too much black makes them look cheap to me. Black surrounded with argent and the anodised aluminum looks right to me.

I'll take a pic of mine tommorrow to see what I mean.

I'm not a big fan of the "blacked out" look either, it just makes the front end look "lost" imo as if it was camouflaged, i much prefer the the stock look, chrome shell, argent grey inserts, or some variation there of.

Too "black" doesn't look right either. A couple notches above pitch black is good.
