Help me decide - grille colour

Hey!
I recently got myself a JET BLACK 328xi. I want to change the grille, but I'm not sure which colour to get. Should I get the MATTE BLACK? or the CARBON FIBER?

Pictures would be a great help.

Thanks!

I have Sapphire black. I didn’t like the look of matte with the sapphire black going to try gloss or color matched grill. CF is not my style so I can’t comment.

Sorry no pics with them on.

Not considering CF b/c I think it'll be tacky if that's the only CF piece on the whole car. I'm not planning on upgrading anything else to CF.

I'm in same boat as you, check out my thread I started and the replies: GO HERE - SOME HAVE POSTED PICS TOO
