What do you think about this grille?

I saw this grille at the LA Auto Show and I really liked it. Now that I see it here, I'm not so sure. What do you guys think? It's different. And I like different.

It's all personal preference. That being said, I don't like it. It's too inconsistent. I prefer the look of ALL bars or ALL mesh. I really don't like the look of a semi-mesh grille with a solid surround. Plus, that chrome on black looks fugly. That's just my opinion though. If you like it, you should get it and post pics so we can check it out.

grille

I believe it would look better if the larger grille had something added to breakup the large perforated area. Say like TOYO or TACO letters or symbol in center.

I think it would look better if it was all black.

They are made by TRex grilles. They are like $250 I believe. I also think they come in black, but if not, I have some Krylon Fusion Gloss Black in my garage.

In my opinion, it's OK. But I think it might look better on Non-Sport Chromed front grille.
