Shadow grill, shadow emblem

TurboFan · 08-20-2007, 03:59 PM

I've done a few searches with no luck.

Does anyone have a picture of the Bimmian shadow emblem on jet black? How about the shadow grill on jet black?

I'm thinking of toning down the crome, but would like to see it first.

That said, are the Bimmian parts of at least OEM quality? They seem to enjoy a strong reputation, but I have no experience with them.

We carry a lot of Bimmian products including the Shadow Grills and Emblems. They are top notch quality with fitment being superb. The emblem color is a very slick gunmetal grey and from what I have seen hold up just as well to the stock emblems.

I don't have pictures of that specific setup but I will search around and see if I can get a few customer photos. The shadow emblems are so new that there aren't a TON of pictures out there but they do exist

Thank you very much for taking the time to post pics. That's exactly what I needed. I'll be ordering mine today! First "mods"!

Check out the product on our site. We've been working with Bimmian for a very long time now.

Their grills are great, and the quality is also very good. You'll be happy with them.

A lot of people try to paint their grills, but even with a lot of work put into prepping them, they will chip. It's just like anything else that is painted on the front of the car, it will chip, even the OEM paint job chips from rocks overtime.

Getting a ABS plastic grill, like the one from Bimmian is a good choice/option that will probably pay for itself in the long run, since it'll be that way forever. No chipping whatsoever that you would have to worry about.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

thanks.

I had painted my grilles initially, but sick of touching up the paint. Mine are now ABS plastic. I got mine off e-bay, but I'm sure the forum vendors' products are equally good quality.
BTW: mine are matte black.

I ordered a set of "shadow" emblems and they came in the other day. They are black plastic, so I imagine they will fade right into black paint.
