335IS grill vs M black grills

what looks better black or black/chrome grill? I am leaning towards the black/chrome girl but wanted some input.

I like the subtle chrome accents on the car........I'd keep the chrome.

Everyone changes theirs for the matte black, why be like everyone?

Score one for 335is Chrome/Black... a little touch of bling goes a long long way..
Besides, everyone is running to install the Black grills... I like to run just a little outside the pack.

If it's not obvious by now, this really comes down to personal taste. Myself? I rather like the chrome slats but blacked-out frame of the IS grilles. To me they still look blacked out, but with a little more interest to them.

I never really liked the 335is grilles.

THIS. if they're all black, they'll absorb all the light hitting them and won't reflect anything back. I say 335is. They're subtle and classy. Are the all-black ones glossy? That could be good, too.
