No disrespect intended. You asked for an opinion. I have also posted for opinion and it's not aways good.

"To each there own" Very true

If I painted them all black you woudn't be able to see them....I don't know. I'd have to see it on someone elses car first. The middle makes more sense to have painted black than the rest. What do I know tho...first time doing anything like this. Thanks again everyone for your opinions. I may go with some of your ideas!

^ouch dude. actually that's probably not true because I used to have the license plate frame on the front and took it off. So probably not much of a difference.

I'd be concerned about airflow in the front. These grilles will definitely decrease the amount of air going through. If you took the license plate off, that doesn't matter because the area behind it is covered anyway.

Never really liked the "cheese grater" look myself, but some like bling so to each their own. One thing though, I'm a stickler for consistancy. The circle pattern in one and hexagon pattern in the others really throws it off.

I'd like to see a picture with the front center part in, from a further distance away. Say driveway parking distance away...what is that 10'-15' away.

In the back, I think it would look better without the grill inside of the rotor design, feels as if it takes away from the rotor.

yeah some like that and some don't...I'm planning on painting the rear lower bumper to match the car...not quite sure what to do with that rotary section yet. I thought it would match the front rotary mesh though, so I quickly fabricated it for the rear. As far as the pictures farther away....well I can't cuz I didn't take any pics of it before I took it off and I have to take the front bumper off to reinstall it. It did look better from farther away though.
