Chrome grill trim w/ black hood strips?

spacedogg · 03-15-2007, 03:07 PM

I own a jet black e90. I really hate the two top chrome hood slats/strips!

I'm thinking of getting the glossy black grills.

Has anyone just replaced the top two chrome hood strips with black but kept the trim around the grill chrome?

I wonder how that would look? Doesn't appear that people mix and match...if they blackout the grill, everyone seems to blackout everything.

Yeah that's almost what I want to do...except I'll be keeping the grill.

I guess I will try it out...and if I don't like it, I will blackout everything.

Personally...i like what you did.
