Default Civic grille, opinions?

I don't like the look of the stock grille on my civic lateley. It's sunbeaten, and the 'H' emblem is pretty plain. For awhile I was thinking that it wouldn't make much difference getting a different one. But looking at other peoples rides that small piece can change a lot of it's style. I don't wanna spend too much for one though so I've been looking at ebay. But I don't want to get too cheap of one andhave to drill extra holes, or cut it and have it not fit right, u know. These three pics are off of ebay.

1.) The first pic is one of the more expensive on there and I believe is chrome or something similar $24.99 $10.75 ship.
2.) The second is carbon fiber (or look alike) also more expensive bracket on ebay.
3.) And the last is one of the cheapest just black plastic with good feedback.
4.) Other, better suggestions?

My cars forest green, you can check pics in my gallery (it's pretty dirty due to the salt this winter)

OEM Si grille would be the best, but since you're on a budget, I would probably go with the black one... chrome on black would look way off and theCF look would be very tacky and ricey IMO

How much are those grilles (OEM SI)? What chrome on black? My cars green you mean on green?

in the future I'm thinking of getting a black lip on the front. Also the side skirts that came with the car are black, sothe black grilleshould work if I don't try to color it green right?

oops, i thought that it was black by the picture... my fault. umm, try looking at my civic, i have a black grille on mine. It's kinda hard to see though (i'll take new pictures tomorrow.) The OEM grille will run you some cash... If you want something close to it try looking on passwordjdm.com. It's about $125.

But your car won't look bad with a black grille at all IMO...

I think it's paying a lot just for the Type-R emblem. And I wouldn't put that on my car unless it really was one.
