Need advice on my 550

Was thinking about the possibility to replace black performance grill to carbon fiber once.
I have carbon fiber performance spoiler on the back together with carbon fiber license plate frame. Thinking if I should put on carbon fiber grill to match. Maybe mirror caps as well.
What do you think? Has anyone did it yet?

Some pics attached.

The grills won't stand out much carbon fibre vs black IMO

I wouldn't do it. Carbon fiber stands out best when you can see the pattern in it - actually tell it's carbon fiber. On the grills, it's mainly thin slats of metal... I feel like it would just look like faded black grills from any distance other than 2 feet away. The black that you have on is much more slick.
