What grill for SRT-8

What grill do you guys and gals think goes best with the SRT-8? If it were the C, the choice would be easy for me. The 8 doesn't look as elegant as the C. To me, it says: lets race. I keep trying to come up with a grill that will go with the wheels. Maybe I looking at it wrong. What do you think?

I really like the stock grille...

A lot depends on the car color for me... if Black, I MIGHT like to see the stock grille done in black chrome. If Silver, I'd keep it stock or maybe consider a deep dish similar to aspendog's.

I'm happy as hell with the stock grill. I personally wouldn't change anything about the car, except tint of course. Hi Linda!

to each his/her own

I absolutely respect everybody's taste and preferences, and I have seen some AWESOME looking C pics posted here...but

1. When I see an unmodified C...it turns my head with NO changes (actually, let me rephrase that..when I see any 300)

2. Many of the mods people do point towards the SRT8, spoiler, bigger wheels, tires, bigger exhaust pipes, extende facias, lowered height, body color paint..

so, with the POSSIBLE exception of tinted windows (DAMN YOU RAMBIT), I plan on no mods at all

3. The stock grille on the C, and the SRT8, to me, is what makes the car, and I have yet to see one I liked better.

my 1 1/2 cents worth...

If it were mines, i would stay with the stock grill or the C grill (which has little chrome on it). I wouldn't through any E&G mesh, T rex etc.. etc.. The stock grill matches the theme of the SRT8!

Quite a combo so far. Well, the good news is, there is no right or wrong answer. Thanks for you input, Cecil.......

I would keep everything stock on the SRT including the grill. If your going with a black SRT then color match the grill. Imo any chrome on the SRT will look out of place.
