body color

I think it depends on what you are going to do with the car. If it's going to be a showcar, I would say body color. If you are going to run the pi*s out of it, go with black since you don't want to spend a lot of unnecessary time detailing. Just my opinion.

I plan on showing the car heavy.
Thanks guys.

flat black on the front of the core support so you can't see through the grill area!!!!

If you're going to predominantly show the car, definitely go body color.

I'd go with body color as well.

Chrome if the grille and stainless is left polished!

Definately chrome would look killer IMO.
