Cool
Sorry Guys! I donīt agree.

In my eyes the black looks like a car preserved for the winter, you know with black steel rims and and all shinny things covered with rust-protection (can I say that? I mean Techtyl, Dinitrol etc.)

And why is so important that the car looks agressive? No, the silent mover that takes everybody be surprice when starting off when the light turns green..wrummm.......

I would help you, but i'm too far...it's better for you to paint the OEM one...but there is following issue there...as I have noted on your avatar inner part of your grilles are black, so you need to paint only the ovals...but before painting them you need to clear out the CHROME COVER (very thin one) with blade...otherwise after first car wash paint will go off your grills...actually i did mine myself...

Titanium classier IMO. Black is meaner but so is a monster 4x4 truck.

That said both look good and no doubt you will stick with what you like.

the TI grill is very classy and clean looking.
however, i do think, a black X can carry a black grill nicely.
