Really...can you try to use sentences and spacing, please? It isnt easy to read that quickly.
Yeah, the outter piece will need to be painted.
It will come straight black plastic, more than likely.
The mesh, behind it, is supposed to be black.
I dont think it will look like ass, if you leave it black. But it wont look great either.
www.paintscratch.com sells color matched paint, available in spray cans, for a decent price. It will be cheaper than having it done professionally.
First, look for a duplicolor paint that is similar.

Will it look bad without being painted? Personal opinion. I can say that I think it would look good black. or even painted. either way. Leave it black. Then if he likes it. Leave it. then if he doesn't. Paint it.
Simple as that.

^and stefan strikes again.
I bought my "type ARRR" grill off of ebay and luckily my car is black so I jsut kept the ABS look. but I would recommend painting it to match the car:yes:
