Opinions wanted....CW grille with and without the Oval (pics)

Well I installed my black CW grille Friday before I left for New Orleans. I can't descide if I like it better with or without the Ford Oval. What do you guys think??? Please overlook how filthy the truck is....it was a 950 mile trip and I haven't had a chance to wash it yet.
If I go with the oval I will be getting the black domed overlay for it. Also my black headlights will be here Wed.

I like it with the emblem. It gives the grill a nice focal point. Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.

Another vote for "with"...

Its nice to be able to walk in front of the truck and remember what your driving...

You may also want to look at it before you start your truck. From your pics you look like you may have an animal issue under your truck. The fan could result in un-desirable affects to your family pets!!!

Like it better with, but get a overlay for it , the black and chrome ford overlay would look cool. I seen a thread on here about them, they seem to look pretty cool.

I am with the "WITH" camp.

I looks kind of drab without the logo... That's my opinion

It looks nice and mean without the emblem, more civilized with.
I just cant wait till you get your headlights.

Another "with". Mine is "without" right now, and its just too much real estate. Are you using the stock oval, or aftermarket?

My grille was swapped before I bought the truck so I don't have the original. How are you attaching it?

My .02, raise it up a little on the grille face-seems kinda low. Looks good!

Even though I am a huge blue oval fan, I think the front looks much cleaner WITHOUT it.

You should just put a Nissan logo on the grille so everyone will want to know when Nissan designed such a fine looking truck!

with the emblem
the grille itself, well that's a whole other issue ?
I haven't seen an aftermarket grille yet that's worth swapping the stock look for, BUT all you crazies keep trying..... ?????????
