They all look good it depends which you like, painted is nice, chrome is nice and carbon fiber too. If you want different i say paint it.
i would love to see how a Carbon fiber looks on a monacol blue car.
anyone have this combo?

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.
ordering shadowline trim this coming friday then the kidney grill painted probably. i did check out the new wheels and didnt like the vr715 the Csl look way better the 19 look very small and thats because it has a lip, i will be paitent save money and probably get the voresteiner wheels they look nice a bit pricey but i rather save money and go with something i want

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.
