This particular AB G35 looks terrible and would look 100% better with everything color matched. Only OB and the Silvers look decent going with the C/F hoods/lips and the Gialla grille always looks better painted regardless!
Sorry this is just my obsession with doing things right....as I see it!

Ionic sells a great replica grill and the fitment should be spot-on. They can sell them in CF, painted or unpainted. Personally, i would not opt for the plastic auto mesh though, I wound up going to Home Depot and purhasing a 3' length of gutter guard metal mesh that I trimmed down, then primered and spray painted with truck bed liner rubber paint to prevent chipping. This paint provides a slightly rough finish. Believe it or not, it looks great, and thus far, I have not had any rock chips. Eventually, I will replace the lower valences with the same material as well.

No, it won't. 
What does material have to do with it flapping? It's all about how it's mounted. And I've had no troubles with the way Ionic mounts his mesh on his grilles.
Most, if not all, metal/wire meshes come bare (silver) and need to be painted (just looks stupid if it's left unpainted). Chips just waiting to happen. But not with the plastic mesh that Ionic supplies.
I've had my mesh grille installed for a while and zero problems.
