Gloss or Matt Black Grills

HRC · 09-03-2010, 02:00 PM

I have finally decided to replace my chrome grills. BMWP comes in gloss only right? I do not want CF.

Thanks!
Danny

i would say matte b/c it matches your lower grills in the fog light area.

VMRWheels · 09-03-2010, 03:13 PM

^ x2 on the Matte since it doesn't look like you are going to be doing any other black on the 90

Gloss to match the OEM Blackline trim, especially if you don't have any other matte surfaces on the car.

cyberkaa · 09-03-2010, 05:45 PM

Matte black fasho.

HRC · 09-03-2010, 06:04 PM

I am planning on adding a partially painted CF spoiler, so matt black seems like a good plan...

Matte black!

Matte is sooo much sicker than gloss. unless you get gloss rims and shadowline trim

You have a real clean theme on the car, I think gloss black would work the best.

+1 they look really good. And I would go with matte black will flow better in my opinion.

The rims are VMR v718's in hyper silver.

Thanks,

Where can I buy black grills in the bay area?

Whichever one you choose (matte or gloss), make sure to get matching window trim.

HRC · 09-04-2010, 11:50 PM

Well I won't say never anymore, but I really don't think I will change the window trim. I hope that the black grills and a partially black CF rear spoiler will look good.

i used to like the matte look but came to a conclusion that it looks cheap. get oem grills.
