dont do it.... had it on mine for a day. it looked odd. too drastic of a color difference. i thought it would look good accented with the blacked out windshield. i was wrong

im about to get the matte blk grill for my aw. do you guys think carbon fiber one would look nice?

SpecC · 02-19-2007, 02:15 AM

White looks nice with it, but is also has an agressive lip on it. That car I agree looks great!! but arctic is a complicated metalic color and would look really bad..

Mine looks great

Pics? I would be interested to see... I might be wrong...

IMHO, don't waste your money, just get the regular matte black ones, it looks equally good, and you can't tell from afar the difference between a CF and a plastic one

I gotta say though, I prefer the regular OEM tails over blacklines on lighter color cars, espeically AW

...+2. For AW and/or black...OK. Artic...very questionable and don't recommend it. ...but it's your car.

Ok, I might be changing my mind, Chisp3 might be right, I just found this pic on bimmian web site and it doesn't look that bad! Granted it isn't the greatest angle but it isn't too bad!! Might get one try it, sell it if it looks bad!

ZuerstBMW · 03-14-2007, 11:24 AM

I like it as well.

hhkim · 03-14-2007, 04:48 PM

Sweet find! Thank you Ska!!!!

I had been looking for some pics!!

I really am not feeling the eyebrows! But I think I digg the Grill! What do you think Ska, (fellow arctic e90er)?

ska///235i · 03-14-2007, 09:31 PM

well....if you dress it up black, then it'll look good (black wheels, blacklines, black mirrors...etc)

montreal_bimmer · 03-14-2007, 09:48 PM

not crazy about the black grill on arctic, maybe CF will look better.
