I still have the chrome window trim with the black grill. I dont care for the chrome window trim as it doesent look good on a black car but the black grills does make the front end look much better. You can either have the chrome trim vinyled or have the black out window trim put on as well although the actual window trim is a little pricey.

I got matte black kidneys and matte window trim to match...I think it looks more aggressive than the glossy

I just bought my gloss black grills yesterday, they took 5 minutes to put in and look HOT!!! I just hate the fact that even though i have the m sport package, with an e93 you dont get shadow line trim, why is that? I need to find a good place in brooklyn that can vinyl it gloss black for me, any suggestions?

IMO black out the entire car if you do that look.

Matte Black grilles possess an aggressive feel to it
