Default Should I paint my Grille?

It'* been suggested by some people that I should paint the grille on my car 'chrome'/'silver' to match all of the chrome on my car. I don't know if it would look good or not, so I thought I would ask the oppinions of my trusted friends on the Bonneville club. Stock it is black.

This is a picture of a riv with a billet 'chrome' grille, it would look similar to this if I did it..

I personally think it would look very hot either silver or chrome. Even body color would be a nice clean look. But I would do it silver or chrome.

I personally like the black look. Something about that gaping maw on a car makes it just look meaner to me.

But chrome would work, too. Body color would look just a bit too ricey in my opinion...

I was gonna buy a Riviera, Those are really nice, classy cars, Very fast too with that supercharger. I personly like it how it is, I like the rims though that made it look sharp. I think with the chrome grid it would rune it

If you do end up painting it, make sure you only paint the mesh portion of the grille. Otherwise it'* gonna look a little funny...

The stock grille doesn't have a mesh unfortunately, it only has vertal 'bars' on it. :(

It looks like I'm not going to be painting it, other boards voted about 95% think I shouldn't do it. Plus, aftermarket paint is going to peal off probably.
