Anyone have pics of how a silver/polished FMIC looks through the front grill?

Hi everyone! Does anyone happen to have any head on pics of their car with a silver/polished FMIC installed?

I would like to see just how visible a silver/polished FMIC is when looking at the vehicle head on through the front grill.

I am debating getting a black FMIC but I am not sure if its worth it.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Brad

Awesome pics! Thanks so much guys. I think from looking at the pics that a black FMIC may be more stealthy but certainly not required. The silver/polished ones add a nice look to the front end. Thanks again for your help!!!

Honestly the only thing that a screen will stop is leaves and sticks... Any big rock will go right through it, and any small pebbles will still be getting through. It's been 6 months and fins are still in great shape. Biggest thing you cando to damage it is tailgating people, which I don't do
