I really like the look. Other cars have used the monochrome look although with monochrome the grill would be the same color as the car.. There have been other threads on painting the grill black, here's a good "how to"

I think that if I did the painted grill bit on my car I would get a used grill and paint it black and have my stock grill to put back in if it was an issue at resale or if I decided to go back to stock. I think the grills are really easy to change.
