Default Help with grille choice / buy

Need help making my mind up, or mabe just, justifying spending the money haha

Should i plastic dip the chrome part of my grille black (cost a few dollars)


Or go with this grille on cl for $100, guy told me only he only has mabe 500 driving miles on it



Kinda leaning towards buying the black painted grille but man 100 dollars mabe if it was 80 i would be all over that, without second guessing. Just keep thinking of where else i could spend that 100 on the tuck.

I would say the 100bucks one, but the plasti wont look bad. The 100 dollar one would just fit your truck perfectly
