    With (see my Avatar). The chrome bezel and center logo is just right.

    In this example, as in yours I suppose, it helps take the focus off the hood scoop so I may change my vote. :boink:

    Even though I was leaning for "without" I think you're right

    Maybe color match your truck? That would look bad ass.

    Which ever you think makes that gaping grill visually smaller. For me the chrome surround and emblem break it up a little.

    Kinda like a too big butt in tight solid color pants, vs a full skirt with a soft pattern to it. Camouflage is the best you can do. ;)

    Of course I also think the grill is the worst cosmetic feature of the truck, totally out of whack with the slick lines of the tailgate. And I like tastefully done chrome.

    Oddly enough, I think I like the "chrome" logo. But I do think the surrounding trim should be blacked out.

    Personally, if I was going to color match anything it would the chrome surround. Doing that would shrink the size of the grill.

    Oh yeah...keep the emblem.

    I spent 30 seconds with GIMP and blacked the surround on your fist pic

    [​IMG]

    And then the surround and the emblem on your second.

    Done in a hurry so please don't critique too harshly, but hopefully it can help you decide.

    If the bezel is chrome leave the symbol chrome... or black it all out.
