Need Help / Opinions??? SRT-10 Hood

What do you guys think would look better. I have a Road Armor front bumper on order for it and it will be Line-X'ed black. I can do a few daylight pics if you think it would help in a better decision.

I also plan on getting the night runner headlights for it soon.

I'd leave it Black, put the inserts in, get a rear replacement (If you haven't already) and blacked or smoked taillights and 3rd light maybe with some black rims. That would be killer!

black white is almost too much contrast any way. I'd paint the grill white put in the inserts and go for some chrome wheels. I think black on white looks Ok but I think black looks better on red, charcoal, or black. just my $.02

X3, paint your grill white or get a chrome one, those grills make the truck look very cheap.

I went to the paint shop and had them mix me up some enamel. I'm pretty ticked because it is not the same white, they even went off the paint code
Here is a general idea of what it looks like. I am 50/50 on how it would look the right color with base/clear. From far away it looks pretty good.... maybe its just bugging me because its the wrong color.

Should I spend some more dough and do it base/clear then billet inserts or just say to heck with it and go chrome. I do agree that with the RA bumper being black that the black grille would be too much.

I bought the chrome sport mopar grille for my white 05 and I liked the way it looked and it wasnt ungodly expensive. about a hundred dollars new from the dealer and it was easy to install. ive got one in my 06 also you may look into one of those. I think that would look nice. I do think it looks better now the black grille just makes the truck look cheap I think.

I was going to get the pink streamers off my daughters bike and attach them to the mirrors. Maybe I can put a big white basket on the front and put in a cabbage patch doll.

Maybe you can ship the coveted limited edition "Missurah" cabbage patch. You know the one, 1 half broke off jagged black tooth, red hair with a snow white poof in the front, 6 toes on the left foot and cigarette burns all over the arms.

The first time the festiva posted a similar time.
