POLL: *Performance Grills* or Stock on Arctic

HRC · 06-20-2009, 01:11 AM

Never considered this until recently. For comparison I snagged some of pcarela's (hope you don't mind) pics b/c of the Arctic Color/Mtec Kit and Amber Corners.

Stock

Black:

I'm not planning on changing the window trim so factor that in to your decision as well. Thank You for your feedback!

If you're not changing the window trim, leave the stock grill.

I think you need to change the window trim like pcarela's to make it work. Otherwise I don't think it would be an improvment. Your car looks great as it is.

BMW Performance for sure, it matches the other openings in the bumper, etc.
