    Help please - Black optic grille with, or without, chrome rings?

    I just wrapped my grill and my intention was to have the Audi rings in chrome, like
    pictured below. However, I’m surprised with how
    much I like the current look with the rings blacked out. I’m sure everyone will have different opinions here, but what do you all think looks better?

    I think the black looks great. Nice job on the wrap.

    I'm partial to the black rings:



    With yours being wrapped, it's an easy switch back if you get tired of the look. Run it for a while and forget what we think. Your wrapped grille looks great either way.

    I have black rings and a black RS grille so I'm definitely a bit biased towards the black on black look. It looks amazing!

    I like (to show) the Four Rings, so the contrast of chrome rings on the black grille gets my vote. Black rings are too stealth for my taste. Anywho, way cool!

    For me it all depends on the color of the car. Mine is black and I don’t have the black optics package so I have the chrome accents all around the car which I honestly prefer. You can see the body lines a bit better and looks a bit classier to me.

    All this to say I suppose my vote is mostly chrome rings lol. The lighter the car the better the black looks tho. At least with those kinds of accents IMO

    My vote is for chrome rings against the black optic grill.

    I am always against chrome, hate the look. However the ultimate would be body color matched rings on the black grille. It would be less ostentatious than the chrome, but would still be a noticeable contrast unlike the black on black look.
