Black kidney grilles on a black E90. Matte or gloss?

adrian1480 · 03-15-2008, 02:57 PM

Wondering if anyone has a set of black kidney grilles on their e90 in either gloss or matte. I'd like to get one of the 2, but don't know which would look best on my black car.

Advice, please? And if you have either on your e90, a pic would be most helpful.

Thanks!

What color car do you have. I'd usually say matte. But it also depends on the color of your car and your other mods.

It's a black car. I have an ACS front lip.

I'd vote for matte.

adrian1480 · 03-15-2008, 03:01 PM

thank you for your input, sir. Out of curiosity, have you seen that combo before?

On a black car, I would say do the matte black. I have a Jet Black car and I like the contrast of the matte black, IMO the gloss blends in too much.

matt black is not bad too.but is painted matt black.there r so many vendor selling black grill on the market.but everyone r selling just the plastic.those one in the pic. is ok,but it not look nice when u see it in person IMO.

karliejai · 03-16-2008, 04:00 AM

i like both. i have the matt black myself but if you do go with gloss, i would say pick up a set of matt and paint that gloss. so if it chips, you wont see other color (grey, white etc)
