Which grill do you like better?
I'm a bit undecided on this carbon fiber grill I got from the PIF thread (thanks tgoss!) vs. my painted black grill. Which do you like better?

tough to say with the flash pictures.
Take a couple in the sun light.
I had mine painted black chrome and then did matt black when the chips messed it up.
I prefer the black on black over my lighter choice.

I know that you can paint it but can you powder coat or electro plate this silver? where did you get it and how much?

If you have a lot of other cf parts on your car, then I think the cf grille will tie in.
But just looking at the grille and how it looks with the front part of the car, I think the same black color looks better. More subtle.
However, if you want the grille piece to stand out, then the cf will do that.
Either way, both choices sure beat the stock chrome look.
I had my grille painted black to match the black color of the car and had the badge removed and filled in and smoothed over. The flat hood badge is all that is needed. Turned out really sweet.
