Poll: - chrome grille surround or not?

I just saw the original photos taken of my Mitzi on the day it got the partial wrap, before I added the chrome trim strip around the grille...
Now I'm not sure which I prefer!
Let me know what you think, but you have to fess-up; which do you have - chrome or blacked-out?
Cheers!

I think the black option definitely suits the blue better

I personally like the black with out the chrome, and that is what I ran with when I had my vrx (until one of the dogs chewed the vinyl off, never got around to fitting a fresh sheet, so I gave the new owner a pre cuts one:)), maybe wrap the bottom lip aswell?, I may have a spare precut one lying around

Is this the one that blacks out the part immediately below the bottom grille?

Definitely looks meaner without the chrome o.o
that's just my opinion though

I like chrome. But I own a RA and proud it's not an Evo.
BUT with your black vinyl bonnet I like the black.
If you stay chrome you need chrome window strips if you don't already I can't remember from when I saw your car last.
I've not voted btw as I'm in decisive pending above.

@Tomo: - Thanks!
@Tiff: - Thanks twice!
@Jade: - Good call - I was in fact looking at the chrome lower window trims (and boot garnish), but now I'm thinking I might end up with too much chrome... (and now I'm thinking my alloys are a bit bright!)
Funny how those with chrome often do the blackout and those without 'chrome up'... straight hair / curly hair!

I like it without. Especially since the stupid LX has the 2 separate bits of chrome -______-
I've tried to go for the whole 'black, white and pink' thing and I think I've done pretty well so far
With blue there's not much else you can do though colour-wise. I think it would look best with everything blacked out (side indicators, headlights, tail lights, wheels, etc
)

@Erin: - seems to be the popular opinion! (Should black out the centre-bottom of the bumper too, maybe...)
@ashley: - did I show you these?:
