Grille opinion

What do you guys think of the following pictures? The silver is a brushed aluminum finished and the black is like primer/flat black. It is still a working project. I am still going back and forth on making the trim around the grille to have the same brushed aluminum finished or just leave it black. I am also going to install a mesh behind the grille but still unsure if I should leave it chrome-ish aluminum silver or paint it black. Any opinion is appreciated. Negative comments are absolutely welcome just be polite and responsible.

1. Outer trim of grille should be black or brushed aluminum finished.
2. Mesh behind grille should be black or raw aluminum finished.

Thanks.

Would have to see it installed to give you my honest opinion if I like it or not.

Since your car is DG, I would leave it as is, no outer.
Could you make me one? This is sick.

Thanks, honestly this project has taken me a bit too long. Probably for the lack of tools and skills. So far I have spent roughly 4 days on it, 1-3 hours/day (2 days on trying to get it smooth with putty). Got an extra grille and school is off for a few days so it's just to fill in the free time.

Here is the finished product. Opinion please? Negative opinions are welcome, just don't be too harsh and childish. Thanks.

Looks different but it gives you that feeling that it's missing something.

Yeah, two of my friends said that since I painted the mesh black. But under the sun, you could see the mesh to fill in those empty spots.
