I have some pictures of cars with black '97 grilles, but none are fitted to red cars, they are all black.
I'll include them for you because the pictures are clear enough and would give you an idea how a well painted 97 black grill looks. Click on the thumbnails to see larger pictures:
This one looks nice with the clear headlight lens
This one shows how the black grille can "disappear"
This one shows the black grille on a JDM car, and it looks good too.
