Big star grill or Blacked out grill

Have just fitted the big star grill, I think it look elegant and freshen up on 10yrs old car, blacked out grill look sporty, which do you think looks better?

Im with that try something different.
If it doesn't work out go back to your stock grill and black it out.

Big star is ugly. Blacked out grille is played out; no offense to those who have done it...I just see it all the time.

Personally, I'd do something different like wrap in 3M Di-Noc CF overlay. My personal choice and preference is to leave it OEM chrome.
