My new Grille- Your opinion wanted

[ChrisR]

Actually I basically copied the grille from NJshofear. Just can't decide which goes better.
White with white:

White with black:

What do you think? I like both, and can't decide.

Now that I actually look at the pics, I realize you can't see the mesh. The black is mesh too, not just open.

Not bad Chris. I like the top one and the jury's still out for #2. Need a better pic. Did you make these yourself or is this photoshop?

No photoshopping. I made the grill yesterday, only took me about an hour. Here's a better pic of the black mesh. Thanks for all the opinions.

And ShoGuy93: I think it would look cool on a gen 2, since there aren't very many options to do anything with the gen 2 grill.

Hey Chris, what type of mesh is that you used?

 

[nothingtoseehere]

White

 

[luigisho]

Nice. I still like the white one a little better but the black mesh isn't bad. I like the white emblem there too.

It is "Gutter Guard" for covering up your gutters. Found at a hardware store. I was going to go with metal, but figured it would be hard to cut.

Good work for such a short amount of time.
I honestly don't think either version complements the front face of the car, but to each his own. You might want to try & get a hold of some brushed aluminum similar to the grills you now see on the full size GMC sport utilities (solid with big holes). I think that would look very good.
BTW what happened to the top edge? Is it flexing due to the amount of material removed?

 

[JonVH]

How about painting the gutter guard mesh white?
The first white one looks like it belongs on a home radiator vent...not your car

 

[93nighthawk]

I personally like the white. The black looks kind of wierd on a white car. So how did you do the cutting? With a dremel or something else?

the white looks awesome.

White on white is thumbs_u thumbs_u

 

[ChrisR]

I think I will go with white/white, at least for a while. I like it:

JonVH: I don't think it's flexing, I think that's just the way I took the picture.

93nighthawk: Yes, used a dremel.

Thanks for all the opinions!
