He wants to paint the front of the radiator support area black like it came from the factory, but I might ask him to leave it alone...what do you think?

Only thing would be how it looks through the grill with the hood closed?

I know it's hard to paint over the nicely finished body color but it will look a lot better finished in black. The body color showing through the grille really distracts form the grille itself which is a work of art on that car.

JMHO.... (But Chrysler design agrees).

Very nice!

Paint it how you like it, but if you decide not to go back to black - be aware there will forever be the "concourse experts" in plaid shorts and kneehigh socks driving up to carshows and cruises in their minivans telling you how "it's not correct".

Those dorks never really get to me, but they are persistent and annoying as we prolly all know.
