Billet Alum Grille. yes or no

I have a Crimson Black Max and I'm trying to decide on a chrome billet grille, a polished alum billet grille, or a black grille. The prices are good on the polished billet grilles but are they a pain in the *** to keep clean?

why oh why ... no no no on the billet! ... looks so cheap. IMO they have zero style and look like garbage. I would do one of these if anything

I'm pretty sure they don't have anything for the bottom, but even without it I think it would look really good since the satin black finish on the grille would contrast really well with the color of your car

I would avoid anything where you don't see a photo installed and if possible step by step photos.

I would say definitely get it, but not for looks. every maxima needs at least the bottom piece because Nissan didnt think leaving it wide open with the radiator right behind it to get dented by rocks and such...
