The black makes it look like there is no grille.id go charcole gray or aluminum with black fogged over it then clear over either option. You can always go back black

Paint it red to match the truck and see what it looks like then.

I don't like the eyebrow trim left chrome on the one pictured. I think it would look better all black, or dark grey.

When I had a GMC I painted the grill bodycolor. One thing about it, because it was chrome underneath, the paint seemed to chip a little easier than the rest of the truck.

I think if chrome was an option the original poster wouldn't have started this thread. I think leaving the surround chrome helps break it up and make a painted grille look intentional,not a cheap alternative or a throw-back to the out dated monochromatic "euro-look" from back in the '80s.

Depends on the truck's overall style.

My vote is for chrome (for your truck) but I really like the painted example from 67cheby.
