grille color
 
i'm stuck too on trying to figure out if i should get a black grille, or the aluminum color. the ones from customtc.com are like $81 for the aluminum and then $116 for the glossy black powdercoated. i have a grillecraft already right now on top, cuz i have fog lights on the bottom, but i'm gonna switch to the VRD fogs and i need a bottom grille to match. it's not worth paying like $140 for a bottom grillecraft grille-i'm just trying to figure out if i like the polished look on a bsp, or if i should get black. the customtc ones look exactly like the fig grilles, and they're the same 12gauge thickness, but they're much cheaper. what do u guys think-do u guys like the silver color on a black tc, or the black on black look better?

black on black looks cleaner, IMO

admittedly, black glossy grills look hot too.
but im over the stealth phase, which seems to be the route of most bsp tc owners. Looks clean, but everybody has blacked out bsps

nah your right, black gloss grill still looks cleaner than a lighter grill.
IMO the titanium may not be for everyone. It does bling quite a bit during full daylit hours. However, I just dont wash the grill and since Ive installed it, its shine has gone down :)

you cant ever go wrong with a gloss black grill IMO
Its just so common.

black on black is what most people seem to have. i'm not really that into the vrd grilles, although the titanium looks kinda alright. i'm really trying to decide between the silver or black customtc grilles. black on black does look cleaner, but so many people have that. i can't decide if the silver stands out too much. here's the pic of their aluminum grille on a bsp tc from the customtc website:

i'm gonna get the vrd fogs put in as well before the winter, and i have projectors retrofitted with a black shroud, but there's still silver in the headlights and i wasn't sure if it'd look good because the grille and the chrome in the headlights don't really match.

I love the all black look... I do think everyone one and their mother has the black on black, but i think there's a reason cuz it looks sick! IMO...

I also like the VRD grill though likt the one RnB180 is sporting...

I dont like that grill, looks like teeth. like the tc is about to bite down on something :)

I like this one better :D
