yeah paint em body color. the cleanest looking cars have it matched to the body.
the blacked out lids look cool as a different look (it goes better with the black bumper and trim) but i think for your car it would look better matched
as for the middle grille... are you just talking about the little part that surrounds it or the whole deal? i'd keep the grille black and just do the surrounding part... this pic shows it good

not the mesh part but the part of the grille that's colored like the eyebrows

I don't think it flows well when you paint them. I think the eyebrows look like part of the corner lights and when you paint them it makes them look cut in half.
