I personally prefer the black look, I think the contrast works better on the grill and the CF looks a bit out of place unless you have a CF front lip and diffuser. We have both types of grills available but I'd urge you to go with matte black.

I have a CF grill, Matte black grill, and a Jet black grill painted to body color, and I prefer the paint matched ones. I am also thinking about painting the slats chrome on the painted ones.
