Get painted to match body color. It looks the best, by far.

Chrome is gay, and carbon fiber looks totally out-of-place.

Yeah, get a set and if you don't like it, try something else. Tell me this mod is happening soon though, so we don't have to wait months for you to decide and to finally see pix.

I'd go for black or body color. CF would be nice, but sometimes the CF grilles don't sit flush due to the extra material. Most of the time, it's CF laid on top of the grille.
