Double line or Single line kidney grills?

Hello just wondering which grill would you guys prefer on your BMW E92. I'm looking to get rid of my chrome grills and install a glossy black pair. The pre lci come with single line style and the newer models come with double line style grills. Which ones look the best. Thanks

The double slat grills look incredibly out of place and downright wrong on the E9X...

I ended up purchasing the double line design, I'm going to give it a try. I'll update the thread with a picture when they come in.
