To me it all comes down to a matter of fit and finish. I don't like the gaping recessed area between the grille and the Chrysler wing on the mesh grilles. I don't like the fact that the billet grilles always cut into the front fascia, and are seldom lined up properly. Painting them however you choose doesn't change the fact that you still have an ill-fitting grille. I also don't like seeing the core support behind the grille. Looks unfinished.

The OEM grille, to date, is the only one I've seen that fits properly, looks snug from all angles, and conceals the naughty bits on the core support. The best news, it's free with the purchase of a Crossfire. Yes, it's shared with the Pacifica but it's called BRAND IDENTITY. If it bugs you that much that you're driving a Chrysler, pay the Benz tax and get an SLK 32. Then you can have a grille that looks like a Norelco.
