I'm considdering getting an aero grille and painting it white and painting my hood scoop white also. I think that it will bring out the two-tone EB/W - kinda like a little less hardcore version of the black roof, aero grille, and carbon fibre scoops I've seen a couple times. Anyone seen anything like this or have any input?

i think doing it EB would be sweet too, and easier to keep clean!
i've seen a pic of a PS MCS with the aero grill painted PS, it looked wicked!

Alright - I'm doing it. Do any of the sponsors sell the aero grille cheap, or should I just go to the dealer?

I got a 2nd scoop and painted it to match my roof colour. I like it a lot and have had favourable comments.

I bought a second scoop so that I could switch it back easily if I didn't like it--cost was under $50 (don't recall the exact amt). Got it from classic auto--great service.
