What are people's views on this aluminium billet grill

I had one fitted to my black SRT6 and it looked good but I can't decide about my Yellow 370z if it will suit it or not🤔

Not my style but I mean they don't necessarily look bad. Would restrict flow of air to the cooling system more than the stock one would it not? If that's what you like then go for it

Aluminum might look out of place with all that black.

Anodized matte black would look great.

Looks like it just mounts on top of the stock grille, which would further reduce airflow going in.

Well,for sure the front bumper "grille "opening on our cars is a bit boring.
IMO,the addition of the billet unit really does nothing to the design. Yes,it
does restrict airflow.
Design wise,a simple straight bar mounted in the center of the opening would
improve the front of the car. I see a black flat piece with a thin red stripe in the center.
Don't know how this color combo would work with the yellow&black theme of your car.
Maybe a yellow bar(body color )with a black pin stripe.

We have little cooling inlet area as it is. I don't think adding a restriction, as in a grill, is a good idea. IMOH.
