What do you guys think? **UPDATED** Black grille

I was looking for a Black pony emblem, I found 1, but dont think it was worth $60, so I took the one off my stock grill and painted it black. What do you guys think?

This is without the emblem:


This is with the emblem painted black:



Black Grille, I am trying to decide on putting the horse on, but cant make up my mind on leaving it black, or have it chrome....







I also need some tinted windows...

+1. it would look sick with a mach 1 grille and chin spoitler with the black horse. But its your car so do whatever you like.

I would consider doing the opposite of that and paint the grille black, and get another chrome horse for it.

JMO but, I think chrome brings too much attention, you went with blacken headlights and the black car so why not finish the job? I think the grill looks good if it was flat black. Again, JMO.

I think i am going to order a set of the smoked headlights, instead of the tint(the front is ok, but the back didnt turn out that good). I thought about painting the grill black, but didnt know if i should go with a flat black, or try and find something like a black chrome....the more I look at it the more I think the chrome stands out too much.

Thanks for the input guys

Do it! Although, I've seen some flat blacks come out more like gray. Try it first and see if you like it. If not, there's lots of other options.

I will probably try and paint it tomorrow morning. I couldnt really find any 99-04 stangs with a black grille, but found some 05+ and they looked pretty sick.

I love this black chrome pony for the 2010 Stang. A crazy scary skeleton demon pony would be badass too if they made one.

I did paint the hood scoop grille, but it doesn't fit right (about 1.5" short on both sides), so I left it off...and the car was really dirty, been raining the past few days

A chin spoiler would make any combination look way better.

non taken man, I dont care much for the Mach grilles, trying something a little different. I think the chrome was too much, the flat black just doesnt sit right.... I think i am going to try a glossy black, or a black chrome...if that doesnt look any better than I am going to stick the stock back.
