Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What may look good to one may not necessarily look good to another. Personally I hate the look and feel of Pachmayr's.
On a 1911 I think stags look good. My other option would be (imitation) ivory. But there are those that would suggest that one is narrowly approaching pimp gun status with ivories on a 1911. What ever you put on it do not use white pearls.

The light colored grips look great on a blue gun but I like darker ones on a stainless.
I put the black carbon fiber panels, by Carbon Creations, on my last project. I think they look great and I get lots of "let me see those" when I use the gun at matches. The photo doesn't do them justice. The fibers refract like a hologram in sunlight. Have a look...

WTF, ivory stocks are approaching "pimp" status on a 1911?
A good pair of real ivory stocks with the "double diamond" checkering pattern are a thing of beauty. There were sure a lot of Texas Rangers that carried ivory stocked 191's and I would not have wanted to tell any of them that they had a pimp's gun. I know that that is not your opinion, Gunslinger, but to even express that view. OMG (as Sandy says. )

Is there a webpage for those carbon fiber grips?
I have the original red coco-bolo grips on my SA, but unfortunatly the sweat from my body has discolored the left grip panel, to a dull grey color.
But I carry it everyday, and I sweat a lot.
Also, I've never seen one in person, but there is a stainless 1911 in the Houge Catalog, with green lamo-camo grips. In that picture they look really pretty.
