Either keep it Flat Black with fresh paint, or toss in some billet or the Mach 1 kit, 3 pc. I bought the 2 pc and regret it now,I am in search of the filler panel.

I painted my scoop inserts black. They looked faded and greyish, now they look better than new. I dunno about body matching the stock grill but here's what it would look like. All hail my photochop powerz.
