Black or White kidney?

Hello guys, Im planning to get some aftermarket kidney grills.
My car is AW, and wasn't sure if I should go for the white surrounds with black slacks or all black?
Or should i just keep it chromed?

here are some pics to distinguish the two

I think that the best look is original full chromed version...it makes the car look the most expensive with that...on 2nd place is full black, that on the 1st photo...

Go with white. It's more unique since everyone goes with all black. You do want to stand out, right?
