    The grille looks nice, but I'm still not a fan of the new front ends.

    Leave them black. Or spray with white plasti dip so you can peel it off if you don't like it

    Looks great now and if you were to paint the emblems Super White. You'll find the letters will dominate the grill and wash away its sleekness.

    You did a great job. :D    ​

    Recommend not painting letters white. They are too big and will diminish the look IMO.
