Whats your opinion on the black grill with the carbon black? Does it make the grill kind of fade away into the front end? I saw one with body color mirrors that looked sharp and a body color grill...kind of faded away but not bad...almost the all blacked out look. I am wondering if CF is the way to go for some pop on these cars...the cerium (sp) gray is just a little ho hum to me.

I go back and forth on the black grills. From far away it sort of fades away, but up close (and when the car is clean) it looks really good I think. Maybe it's not so much that it "fades away" as it looks more aggressive with the black and less so with chrome. I'm on the fence about the more aggressive vs. more conservative look. But since I have the m-sport edition all of the other chrome is replaced with black already, so it is more cohesive to have the black grills.

I bought chrome grills shortly after I got the car and replaced the black that the car came with for the first ~1 year I had the car. But I think it also looks good with the chrome. I'm still on the fence, though, so I change back and forth every once in a while.
