New Grill on my '06 WDP. What do you think?

So it took me three days but I finally got my new grill on. I took ideas from different grills I've seen here and also added some of my own. I used an aluminum mesh from pep boys for both front grill and lower grills. I also used the 3-M DI-NOC carbon fiber on the lower grill plastic inserts and the larger outside part of the main grill. I'm putting on a new hood trim piece and the matching trim around the grill once it comes in the mail. I'm at work so I can't get into too much detail about it. I'll post more if anyone is interested. What do you guys think? Here's a link..

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I apologize for the crappy pictures. My wife had the camera and I couldn't wait for her to get home since the sun was setting so I used my phone. I plan on washing my car and taking some much better pictures soon.

I would of painted the mesh black but that is just me.

For those of you who suggested the grill painted black... I tried that last week and I personally didn't like it at all on the WDP. Here's a pic http://s995.photobucket.com/albums/af74/scots11/ It didn't stand out at all. You couldn't even see the mesh until you were about six feet away. I loved the look but all the pics I saw were on black or grey cars. Plus I was touching up the chips with paint every single day.
