Black grills for e92

mooj9 · 11-23-2012, 06:38 AM

Just changed from the oem chrome grills to black. Sorry about the crap pictures and the car needs a wash!

h0ffman · 11-23-2012, 07:22 AM

was the first thing that i do in my wagon.

Looks good! In my opinion that should be one of the first things to do.

Blindside_137 · 11-23-2012, 12:06 PM

First thing I did on my car! looks great

panicos81 · 11-23-2012, 12:08 PM

i changed the grill before i sit in my car for the first time.. honestly.. changed it at the dealer upon delivery.. even he said, it definitely looks better..

btw, if you find a way to change the eyebrow from white to black it will look great on your car. maybe vinyl the back side so it wont show but it will turn it black..

black grilles are essential for any e9x

I was thinking about doing something with the eyebrows but not sure how it will look. Will need to see a photo first but I dont think anyone has tried it yet?

havent seen it yet apart from the dtm car.. but i would give it a go if i had a black car. its easy and reversible

Look great - mine are on their way.. Can't wait.. I hate chrome on my cars, so it goes away pretty quick

BlackMonyWheels · 11-26-2012, 05:00 AM

Looks great... I'm looking for a place to order mines...any recommendations? I'm looking for black gloss.

Actually this is plasti dip! I was going to buy a set but thought I would try it with plasti dip first to see how they turn out.

Plasti dip will give you a matt black look though. I would highly recommend it - the whole process took around 1.5 hours

I've heard you can apply a tire spray to give it a gloss look but not tried it.
