IMHO the bentley grill look was beat about 5 years ago when every 300 owner threw one on.

Sounds like you're set on changing it up so I would vote for something NOT in the poll.

Color match the lip (there's no chrome elsewhere on your ride). That's it.

Don't paint the mesh as it'll just flake from debris and less worry when you try to clean it.

There's my take. Otherwise your X already looks great as it sits - it doesn't NEED a change.

Well, black could work too. Its all in what you prefer.

Maybe color code the hood grilles near the windshield too?

Maybe someone can photochop some combos to make it easier to decide. LOL.

X is okay. Kids are okay. Mustang gonna be painted soon.

I though it over some more.

The color coded lip MAY washout the front too much.

Black could work but I just really like the way it is now.

So, I voted - No change. Keep it as it stands now.

Look elsewhere for mods. How about the painted rear valance. I think painted would look nice to match the skid plate.

EDIT: Oops! You already did something there. Didn't catch that.

Don't tell me you're running out of mods! LOL!

Do you spell mesh, "mesche," on purpose?
