which intercooler mesh?

Hey guys I am planning on cover up my intercooler with some mesh and I just wanted your opinion. I don't have the bumper with me so I just did a comparison with the grill that I have.
LEFT or RIGHT

I am planning on going with the left because it is harder to see through it.

The left one will protect it better but the right one looks better. I personally would go with the right one.

If you want protection, get the left one. I rather filter even small rocks from the road. Paint that thing in black or some dark color and it would look stock.

Good luck and pleaselet us know how the final product turns.

color matching will look good, but what are you color matching with? the paint of the car, or rims .. or .. ?

me personally have a TG colored car and am going to color match my mesh in my FB with the rims and headlights (black), so that it kinda gives the car some accents.

I was going to color match it with the color of my car. The other option was blacking it out to match my headlights. The only reason why I am planning to match it with my car is because I am curious to see how it looks.

Please all comments are wanted. Sway me in any direction!

Ide go with the right one. Dont color match it, it will look silly/cheap. Black should be the only color a grill should be

The one on the right is good if you think there's a chance you might hit some chickens :lol

"...hit some chickens" priceless!

seriously though, I'd go with the mesh on the right and paint it black.
