you should do what you like because it's your car and nobody elses!

PINeely · 04-16-2013, 01:14 PM

Buy the black grilles and keep the chrome ones IMO. Then you can switch as you like.

When I get home I'll take a pic of my GF's car next to mine. She still has the chrome grilles and mine are black. Both are black cars but hers is metallic.

Mess with people's heads, go with one of each.

Plastidip. If you don't like it, just peel it off.

benzo23 · 04-16-2013, 02:27 PM

Chrome son, chrome out erythang....

techy1 · 04-16-2013, 02:54 PM

if you like chrome keep it...

personally I like the matte black, even the glossy black

but I agree with MetsFan.

Plastidip it and if you like it then keep it and if not well.... it was only $10 for the can.

I wrapped mine in carbon fiber vinyl.. I think it looks wonderful. It depends on the color of your car, and alternately your wheels and even window trim.

Thedouceman · 04-16-2013, 03:08 PM

I have a jet black e92 with black grills. Looks alot more aggressive and IMO better than the stock chromes

Parth317 · 04-16-2013, 03:09 PM

Go with matte or gloss black.

Michael88 · 04-16-2013, 03:13 PM

Cheers I think black will look better but GF thinks it will look to black. Has any 1 got before and after pics

Speedwagon · 04-16-2013, 03:46 PM

Personally I like the Glossy Black one!

PINeely · 04-16-2013, 03:47 PM

Here are our cars side-by side. Don't mind the dirty cars or iPhone picture quality.

Mine from the side

And hers

135Pats · 04-16-2013, 03:47 PM

Chrome grilles? Gooby pls. Black.

BCeagle08 · 04-16-2013, 06:03 PM

I think the black grills looks much much better on a black car.

Kwik E Mart · 04-16-2013, 06:19 PM

...i happen to like the chrome, but that's just me...i would get rid of the orange reflectors though, if you have any...mine are getting replaced soon...
