Ditching the sport chrome grille

My CBP 2011 SH came with the dark chrome and I am swapping it out for the stock satin finish am I the only one? For some reason just doesn't look right to me.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to buy the chrome grille. Take pics and post it before u take it off. I also have a cbl hopefully you could make up my mind. It's all personal opinion. How's the condition of your grille?trying to sell yours once removed?

it looks ugly.. a very large surface area for chrome..

if it was a 2012 grill it would be ok.. but 2009-11.. too much chrome..

and if you do that.. you will have to get rear trunk to be silver as well if you dont already have chrome.

I'm not surprised. I was debating the same thing when I had the WDP 2010 TL. Decided to have the beak painted the same color as the car and it looked great.
