Default Need An Advise on which GRILL TO BUY

hello everyone..
I've been looking for a new front grill for my IS and can't decide which
one to choose..
BTW..my IS is SMG

I like the CF one
http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2572

from carson,,
but also think that this one will look great on SMG..
http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2471

does anybody has either of this on their SMG? if so, could you please
post some pics? I'll like to see how it looks..

BTW..these grills are really expensive..does everybody pay this full
price? or do you all go to EBAY?

I think I'm tilting toward the CF one since I'm planning on purchasing
CF HOOD someday~~
but will love to hear what you guys think!
thanks for your time and have a great day!

Carbon fiber on SGM is very nice. just make sure you paint the chrome surround also.

wouldn't the CF itself replace the whole chrome portion?

I just picked up the carbon grill from another member. I'll post pics when I get it installed.
Carson no longer sells the color matched grill, only the cf one. The chrome bezel is a separate piece from the grill, it's not replaced with just the grill.

Well I can tell you the Blitz Grill is the best fitting (of the Carbon Fiber ones) of all and the pricest for sure....
