Default C-one or JDM Grill?

Hi, guys. I decided to change the front grill for my 2001 GS300.
I have narrowed down the choice to Two,

1. C-one

2. JDM
http://l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=74
http://l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=40

but I can't decide between these.
I need your opinions.
I have put links for the pictures of them.
I couldn't find a link that shows JDM picture clearly, but I am assuming that you guys have pretty good idea
what JDM grill looks like.

Thank you so much. It will really help me decide which one to buy. ^^

JDM because with the C-One grile, there'll be morons coming up to you and asking if C-One is a new car company.

BTW ... the C-One logo is an optional item. You need to pay extra for it

Who would pay extra for that cheesy c1 badge?

If our GS's came stock with L-tune/aftermarket style etc.. grills everyone would be changing them to now stock style. Is the stock grill really that bad? I think chromed stockers are the best looking by far!
