My vote is for black optics grille with Chrome trim mounted on it. Awesome contrast.

Black framed RS4 Grille or standard black optics get my vote.

Since your vehicle doesn't have Black Optics package, I prefer RS4 grill with chrome/silver surround to match side mirrors and trim

Side note, thank you for using the proper tense of the word "bias".
On topic, my current favorite is the stock grille with the gray sections blacked out. My real favorite would probably be the RS4 style grille with chrome trim and the mesh painted matte black.

regardless of which grill you choose the blacked out version of each> is way better than any other version. black on black on black

OEM BO is the best looking grille on this car IMO.
Dislike the rs4 look quite a bit, as most of them look cheap and out of place.

That can easily be fixed by vinyl wrapping the chrome window trim.

i must admit.. i think i'd keep the chrome accents and not black everything out.
i just photoshopped some "vinyl" onto the grille to see what i really like.
Step 1: blacking out the gray filler bar

Step 2: blacking out the slats (black optics with chrome trim) although my darkening kept those slat trim things on the sides kinda bright still.

Step 3: blacking out everything (black optics)

I'm not sure what's a good stopping point there. I think I really like the step 2 one. I wonder how much success I'd have vinyl wrapping or plastidipping rather than buying a black optics grille. If I don't like the results I can always go with RS4 grille :P

Me personally I like the look of the stock grille with the silver just not the grey part. I was considering the ecs grill but ultimately ended up trying the grafixexpression kit for 30 bucks. The matte black kit looks good IMO on my glacier white and is the best of both worlds for me.
