Anybody have an AW pre-lci e90 with black grills?

E90PAT · 09-06-2010, 11:56 PM

I don't like the stock grills. The chrome portion attached to the hood is at an angle enough so that, in most lighting conditions, it reflects light making the kidney grills look like upside-down trapezoids.

So I'm debating whether or not to get matte or glossy grills. I've been doing a considerable amount of research but can't find pics of aw prelci e90 to compare with. Any one have pics of AW with black grills?

Thanks!

matte black grilles gets my vote for an aggressive feel

Should get them from jlevisw or i
Jbspeed. Jlevisw is cheaper but what seems to have known issues with the install. Jbspeed is more expensive.

I like the look of the black grill on pre-LCI cars because it hides the stupid chrome mustache!
