Im shipping my 2 piece grill out tomorrow to be powder coated, just wanted to get some members input on what color I should go with.

Here is the grill:

And here are best front and back pics of my car I have at the moment:

I originally wanted to have the grill painted so I went to a few shops. I had wanted to match the grill to the color of my wheels which is a matte charcoal. The most reputable body shop said my wheels so closely matched my dark slate body color that he would just match the grill to the color of the car. After a close look the body and wheels are very similar, so I started thinking about semi gloss black for the grill. Now that Im having it powder coated, my possibilities are endless: color matches, textures, etc.

What does everyone think? Matte charcoal color wheel match or semi gloss black which would set off my smoked tails and mirror signals, and a little with the black in the tires as well?

matte black. U don't want the grille to be too glossy and take away from the dark slate.

Look into getting a Cmod grill and you can paint it flat black or whatever also you can paint the mustache. Id paint the rusty parts on the brakes and calipers, im sure it would make your car look more complete with the colors.

That was my inclination. How do you like those hawk pads? Installed mine 3 weeks ago...undecided at this point.
