Everyone has their own taste and opinion, they both look good. Imo opinion you cant mix too much contrast as well, example; a white car, gloss black grill trim and matte black inner trim.

Is this plasti dip or paint, any up close shots? How is the texture, smooth?

Also did you remove the mesh from the outer grill?

its plasti dip ill take some close pics. texture looks like vinyl matte wrap. has a slight rubbery feeling to it since it is plasti dip. i did not remove the mesh from the outer grill. Since its plasti-dip and cheap I will see how it holds up for a few months...if it doesn't ill redo and try again or I may consider getting it painted at an autobody shop in a matte black.

To Rok - To each their own.

Thanks for the tip on the plasti-dip option Roger! post pics of your truck, i love what you did with it...show it off!

That's a universal given just like opinions. We're here to give out our opinions freely. Again, I'd consider leaving the factory gloss black and semi-gloss the center grills.

I'm curious how this plasti thing holds up to the inevitable debris that will be thrown about.

Holds up surprisingly well.

Looks very good! The black Range is stunning!

Looks real nice with the matte finish! Especially comboed with the Range Rover letters in matte as well

thanks for the compliments guys

How's it holding up man?
