    The first one with chrome trim is my choice for my MGM, not going for the complete blackout treatment.
    Plasti Dip or paint? Looking for the most durable option (no need to remove).

    To paint, you would have to remove (sanding out chrome, priming, etc) If no removal is your goal, I think plastidip is your only option?

    I liked the chrome trim initially, but then eventually decided to just black that part out too. I like the black with chrome emblem just for a little contrast. This was plasti dip. I painted the grill on the A4 i used to daily drive. It was lower to the ground and got chipped like crazy. ended up sanding it down and dipping it, and it held up for years. Just give it a bunch of coats and you'll be fine, unless you drive behind gravel trucks all day long. :) . Oh, and if you go thicker, not only does it hold up well, but it's also easier to peel off if you decide you don't want it anymore or want/need to respray.

    Other than rattle can solutions, powdercoating would probably be your only other choice for a durable finish.
