Carbon Fiber Type R Grill

Ok so, I have searched and I can't find any pics or discussion on it so here I go:

I have been wondering about getting a carbon fiber Type R grill for my rallye red coupe. however, I am not a good one at picturing how things look. I am wanting a chrome/mesh look and I think the carbon fiber look on this one is light enough to give it. Here is the grill I have found

How does everyone think this would look on a rallye red? Or do you thin it would be better to get a regular unpainted Type R gill and paint it to match.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think that grille will look good at all on your red vic. Get the black one and paint the lip to match your car. IMO

^^^ thats what I was wondering, if it was real CF....

I think I am one of theonly people who has had this prob BUT I got my altezza grill from ProCarParts.com (they suck) and it sat in the car for a few days before it got painted and it totally warped. the shop tryed to get it right again with heat lamps, but couldnet do it... so be careful. the guys there told me that if it did that it would never live on my car because of the engine heat....
just wanted to warn you!
