My <$20 grill mod . . . Well, less than $50 if you count the new "rings" I had to buy.

Too much chrome/silver for me. If you like it, that's important.

Default I like it more than I thought I would. Makes me wonder what a darker gray would look like.

The silver is a bit "in your face" particularly from above. I wonder what a pewter would look like.

I did the exact opposite and blacked out my grill completely.

Default That looks great....

I did the same on my BMW--took the grilles apart and sprayed them with aluminum silver paint. I don't think it would look as good on my A6 since the car is silver, and my wife probably won't let me do that to her car.
