My grille

I got mine off ebay. My girlfriend's little brother recommended the guy after he bought a set for his Bimmer. They are really sturdy, no issues whatsoever with them and I would recommend this guy as well. His ebay name is eurosportgarage. They were shipped quickly as well. Here are some pictures of what mine looks like installed...

i think it all depends on the color of the car
if you have a light color car, it can look good since top vents are black as well, plus the rest of the plastic is black, plus sport has shadow trim, plus tinted windows, gives it good contrast, where the chrome/tit grill doesn't really match anything else on the car, except what wheels?...

I have the titanium grill on mine and like it a lot better than the black one.

I think it depends on the color as well. I had the titanium grille but someone actually decided to rip it off my car. But since I've had the black installed, I like it a lot more that way. Black and red go together exceptionally well
