    Alright guys, I need opinions. I want to get rid of the chrome and I'm stuck between what color to go on the grill. I had this guys truck photoshopped since this is the bumper I want on my truck later on. which do you guys like better? I think the black grill looks more aggressive, but the red looks like a cleaner factory look. opinions guys? also if I went with the red, the headlights and corner lights would be blacked out with clear lenses later on for a retrofit. if I went black, id keep it chrome.

    Yeah... Haters gon hate. Lol jk. I do think the black looks more aggressive though. But I think the red will look better with black reflectors and a black projector shroud in there.

    Seems to be a pretty unanimous vote so far!

    Oh and I also would be keeping the filler plates underneath the headlights red too. They just got photoshopped black when the guy did it.

    Edit: if I were to go black that is

    I actually think more would say black if it didn't have the odd eye cover thingys and if the trim under the head light was still red in the PS.

    You had to be that one guy... Lol jk jk. Yeah I would keep that piece red if I went black. That just got photoshopped along with the grill when the guy did it for me. Also, like I said if I go red though, when I pull apart the headlights to do a retrofit on mine, I'd be painting the inside black along with the shrouds. An I want a red halo in the shrouds too

    Edit: and I do want the t-rex eyelids lol in whatever color I painted the grill

    I'd vote black probably. The red halos would be sweet
