Default Change Grille or leave it?

I'm trying to decide whether to keep my current grille, black billet with Chevelle bowtie, or get the carbon fiber grille? Anybody have pics of a NBM SS with the CF grille? Here's mine with the billet:

I have the same grill on my nbm SS. I'm torn on it too but I thought about painting it black like you did so now I have an idea. When I get bored I'll take it off and smooth the front bumper area.

Keep it for sure. I'm getting that grille if I don't get the SLP one.

I'm with the rest, keep it but if you do change it out, I'd hang on to it that way you could change up the front a little in the future if you wanted to.

Keep that grill but lose the nasty bowtie. Leave it blank or grab an old school SS badge.
