Shall I do this or This?

I was thinking today after I saw the SEMA show pics.I saw the 300C with the OEM grill where they painted the non chrome parts as the color of the car or should I get the T-rex heavy mesh grill.
Any way I like both so would you please give me your opinion. To get an Idea here are a couple of pics of what I am refering to.

My personal opinion............
The factory grill is special in itself ! It has an unmistakeable "HUNGRY" look about it. If only the factory had gone all chrome with it !! I like the "Black Out Effect" more than any of the aftermarket grills. I like the whole front end treatment and wheel setup on that Lava red . I'm a big fan and owner of the color !

I, have the mesh grill with center bar and love it on Mrs SexC (cool vanilla), I also like the blacked-out look, I'm just wondering up close how do the blacked-out area look? Both pics shown look nice if I had to choose I probably would choose the mesh(1st pic). Something about all that mesh that has me sold. Hope I didn't confuse you even more.

Well I'm not gonna paint it Black,I am gonna paint it Magnesium as the color of the car but I still like the mesh so I'm still confused.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

I think with a magnesium car that the mesh would stand out more. The "painted-out" factory grill is very cool, but too subtle for many to notice.
Tough choice.

Question, is it really smart to paint chrome?? Many people won't even do the job unless they can sand it down to the base and prime it, would you really want to do all that? One suggestion I have is to get a nice front shot of the car and photoshop the grill and match the color to the car... if you're not good with photoshop, have someone on here do it (such as redman) or yours truly, though I warn you my time is very limited right now... but do that first and see if you like it.

To add to the confusion, you could also consider the Hurst grill.
No painting required.

It has got to be the Dremel+ deluxe version.
They would have to fill in the gap/holes for each of the vertical grill posts
that were removed. At a minimum it would require some patch work to smooth over the missing vertical grill post holes, where they connect to the horizontal grill posts.
Seems like it would be easier to just make new horizontal grill posts. But I don't know s**t about this stuff either
