Default CTS Grill

I'd like to get the grill painted on my CTS. The stock grill just makes the front end look really cheap IMO compared to the grill painted. What do you guys thinks? also, what do you think a body shop would charge me?

I'm not sure if I'm really liking or not..
IMO, if you want something different, I'd go with a chrome paint or something.

But looking at those two pictures, I'd say the silver looks better.

i think if you want to paint it, don't match the body color. go with a color contrast. that all black look is just too much, for me. i like the little bit of contrast better.

I agree...stock or CTS-V. I'm not fond of the painted, one, especially with the chrome above it still there.

Either keep it stock or find a CTS-V grille. The painted variant makes it look like a cheap base model.
