I know there has been many posts on grills, and I searched but couldnt find enough pics or opinions. I wanted to know what you guys & gals think would look best on my SSM Sedan.

Option 1 Left either black or painted silver/metallic to match SSM

Option 2

Also, when deciding whether to go Black/CF or Silver, please consider that I'm also thinking of getting a Grillcraft Lower grill (color to match upper grill). I guess that's all, thanx in advance for the opinions.

Have you considered just putting the coupe grill on your sedan? I think that is the way to go. Heres a pic and a THREAD. What ever you decide, I think it looks better color matched to your car. You will want to replace the chrome hood trim with one from the coupe also. Good luck.

The first one would look nice if it was painted to match the car.

Just my $0.02.

I think I would have to paint it. I havent seen any aftermarket silver ones, unless you're looking at something like the GrillCraft Upper Grill...those come in silver, 'cause they're metal I believe.

I know this belongs it marketplace but i have a new grillcraft lower grill for sale. It's been
painted rally red though so will have to be painted SSM if you want it to match the car
color. I got mine directly from grillcraft and paid around $150 plus shipping. If you want
mine, $75 and it's yours. PM me if interested. By the way, it's very easy to paint.

i would go with the altezza/rs style grille. you'd have to paint the outside of it SSM to match, and leave the grille part black, that would look tight. didn't have to paint mine cause the black is VERY similar to NBP but yeah, get the altezza or RS or whatever it is.

Hey fastandfurious, are the grillcraft grills any good? Are they made of metal or mesh? How hard were they to install and is grillcraft a good place to order from?

I suggest you save yourself a few bucks and not get the cf one. If you're gonna paint it anyways, why buy it for the look you're gonna be painting over? I'm gonna be getting one also, but I'm just painting the border.
