. As for the splitters you just have to use 3m's auto double sided tape and do your best to keep it close to the bumper

The OEM blackout grille I got a year ago IS STILL in perfect condition and I'll never have to re-spray. ever.

Somethings are just worth the 100$.

Looks good, I plasti-dipped my grille also as much as I hate plasti dip but came out good.

OP plastidip your finishing rods black too!

THIS!

For all you guys complaining about painting the grilles, you can get black ones from JLevi for $45 and black 328i finishing rods from Tischer for $15. I have both.

I was wondering to myself about this. LOL cuz matte black grills' prices have been shot down to what it sounds like it's near-cost to make. haha

60 to buy new grills and rods or 6 bucks to paint them yourself?

Plasti dip FTW!

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 03-21-2011, 02:53 PM

I just sprayed paint into a plastic bowl, and used a sponge on my lower grills to apply the paint.

Looks great and didnt need to remove the bumper or grills.

2 years strong.

ADV.1 Matt · 03-21-2011, 03:02 PM

Looks great! Nice pickup on the mod!
