Default Which Grill should I consider buying?

I'm trying to decide which grill would look better against blacked out headlights on a silver car.

here are 2 grills I'm looking at: (Most likely be accompanied by a wald kit, since JP stuff seems to be in uncertain at the moment)

DSR V2 GS Mesh


DSR V2 GS Slat Style



thanks,
Chris

I love the mesh grills by DSR and TRD but I think for your color, the slats would look best.

I generally don't like slats on a GS but it flows great on your bumper, like DaveGS stated........But with that said mesh grills are always a good look. Chrome or Blacked out.
