I think since the mesh of the grille is already black it would look good to have the chrome (star/fins) color matched to the car.

Andy, here is something quick I did. It's more smoked than black, tried to match your lower bumper. I will see if I could do something better.




Edit: Here is another one

+1, I LOVE my CF grille. I wouldn't go back to stock either.



Andy, I would go with black or color matched.

No prob. That's why I smoked it in the pics instead of making it black. I didn't want it to look like a big hole. It would be nice if you could make it black chrome...

Actually, i tried to take the chrome fin and the star out earlier but man looks like they glue it to the grill already and I almost broke one of their clips... finally gave up on that lolz . Was trying to wrap it with CF but we'll see. For now I'll just leave like that .
