I am going with a black grill, i need something to break up the orange and complement the other pieces. the plymouth sign will still be chrome. This is just a photo shopped picture but is a really good estimate of whats to come...

I think that will look great. Like others said, the brighter color helps offset the black grille -and in this case, the black hood complements the black grille, too.

I still love the way the Stock non Shark tooth grill looks on 72 Duster....
My opinion only, to each it owns.....

Wow this is an old thread, my tastes have changed quite a bit over the past four years owning my Duster lol. I have grown to like the look of the stock-type '70-72 grille, but ultimately my Duster will get a shark-tooth grille with the middle "teeth" part silver and the surrounding parts a dark gray. I'm kind of surprised no one has done this yet, I think it would put the most meaning to the term "shark-tooth".

BTW blue missile what did you do to get that cool blue color from your lights?

First I eliminated the MoPar turn signals and then built bi-color led signals between the horizontal grill ribs.
There is a setting on the console to turn all lighting on the car blue, other than that its all DOT legal.

More than one way to skin a cat.

I think blacking out an entire grille looks like crap but detailing with black can make a huge change and still look great.

Here is my wife's 73 before and after.

I didn't forget, I was just being lazy.
