I need your thoughts on grill and emblems

Well I have been looking around on here today and decided I want to black out my emblems and the grill. Look at my avatar and you can see I have the limited siding and what does everyone think should I paint everything flat to get that stealth bomber look or gloss black for my paint? I am trying to darken the whole thing up. When i put on the black rims it made my whole 4runner seem darker and I plan on putting on more black stuff. i dont want to paint the siding and make the whole thing black but i want it as dark as i can. I think if i did the grill and emblems it would make it look darker. Tell me what you think would look best for my truck

Pictures of other black 3rd gens with blacked out emblems(flatt or glossy) would really help. thanks

Hey,
I actually have a 2000 grill that I just painted black. Everything is good with it but then a frined gave me his factory one so I swapped them. Let me know if you-d be interested in buying a balcked out grill.
The paint job is pretty good - there are 2 drips on the very top, but that part is under the hood so you can't see.
I'll post some pics of mine later.

I matched my grill silver, I know it's as far from black as you can get basically, but IMO a color matched grill on most 3rd gens looks the best

I had the Black Pearl's on my '99 Runner.
I don't have the links to the pics right off hand but this is my old profile.
