which grill for my lancer?????

Which grill will look best for my silver lancer? the carbon fiber evo or the paintable evo from road race motorsports? i have the chrome altezza tail lights but I don't know if that will look cool with the carbon fiber and what about the light color of my car with the CF? What do you think?

CF is not over rated. Seeing one in person is way different than pics. Hard to capture the real look in pictures!

Agreed. Pics dont give all the angles and how light reflects on it and such. But I will say go fiberglass cuz of your tails

It depends on what you're gonna do with your car...Rob's right about the pics not doing the CF justice....and he's also right about the tails though....I have the eyelids..grill..and tails all CF...the overall effect of the CF is much bigger when it all matches up....I get many a compliment from the judges at shows about the great look of the CF in contrast of the silver paint...but if you're not planning on matching it all up i would say stick with the fiberglass and paint it to match....

I like CF on Thunder Gray, it is subtle but definitely gets noticed. Check out my registry which has RRM CF reflectors and eyelids, and maybe a CF grill soon.

But anyway, to avoid hijacking this thread, painted to match looks very sharp on a silver car, and I'm not sure what to think of carbon fiber on silver. Up to you, but the majority on here seems to be the fiberglass.
