I had considered it, but was unable to find a set for a pre-LCI E90. Looks like he has those too. They should look pretty similar to the BMW Performance grilles.

i've been thinking of getting the chrome black to match my cous's shadowline gloss trim. I'm surprized not many people have'em on. post picks if you decide to pick them up.

found some here, http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...e+grill&page=3

So, from the link given above here's a picture of the black chrome on a Monaco Blue:

Thanks to AlpineCloud9 for the pic!



Here's a ride with the outer area painted Jet Black & the OEM slats stay OEM w/ the chrome edges:
Thanks to Vudoo4u2!



I like this idea the best .......

i'd say having it chrome on the outside with blacked out glossy grills would be better for that car, as itll match his trim better.
