Wow! Two more people have weighed in ! Thanks very much folks -- I really do appreciate you taking the time! It's looking like a real horse race between the polished aluminum upper grill, and the flat black.

For some reason, that polished aluminum really appeals to me, but FYI -- I've finished tweaking the other grill and it's now out for re-welding the cut bolt eyelets. After I check out the repaired grill, it'll go out again for a black powder coat (though this may take a little time to accomplish ).

Although I'm currently partial to the polished billet, I intend to give powder coat black the opportunity to prove itself !

Yes, I hear you ! I've been trying to imagine one badge or another or whatever to improve it, and I've drawn a blank. It's kind of like with music where a note of dissonance is introduced that somehow makes the sound work, as opposed to leaving it relatively typical. Kind of an attention getter. Maybe it's one of those deals where people either love it, or hate it -- don't know! It's kind of like introducing a point of tension -- wakes the viewer up, and makes them focus. Don't know, but sure seems like something's cooking there !
