Post Techart Grill Inserts: With or Without?

Can not decide if it looks better with or without the Techart grill inserts. It's a $320 option, and I can't figure out if it's worth it. What's your feeling?

Thanks...

Are they giving you a pair of the entire inserts that are to be installed with the bumper off or something else. I assume you must get the center painted body-color also. I do like the look but if it is $320 plus painting and labor your approaching $500 bucks. A little steep.

It is $320 for the pair without paint and install. After painting, the inserts simply epoxy on to the center grill line. The good thing is that I will be getting a panel painted and the body shop said they would do it at the same time for no addtional charge.

Hey, that car in the second photo looks very familiar.

Here are a couple PICS with the TA front grill inserts and no painted lip/rockers...
