Help me decide what to do, on front grill color

So I blacked out my H and it was starting to chip after about 15k. I am pulling the whole thing off and redoing it with some clear coat this time. however I decided to do the top part red. Not sure how i feel about it. Give me some opinion I need to do something with it quick. It would look decent on a black one. Thats for sure

There is still white primer under the red / black. I have not finished that part yet because I do not know which way to go all black or keep the red.

That red clashes with the gray. I don't know what would go with that color.

I'm glad you posted a picture of the "H" emblem in flat black. I am considering the same. Have a white Fit. I think the grill left in all black is the way to go. Red catches too much attention and with your color of car, not really feeling it. Nice work on the headlights. I like them black instead of chrome and is another thing I will do down the road. Paying close attention to detail, I think some invisibulbs for your turn signals would balance things out nicely and take out the orange.

Alright were all back to black. Just thought I would give it a shot since I was doing it anyway. It would look good with white or black imo
