E92 LCI 2011 Decision...Suggestions....

I need to order accessories for e92 lci 2011 so i have to wait for most of the accessories but it doesn't matter because the car is coming mid january..

What should i get:
Matte Black grill, Gloss Black or Carbon Fiber grills and i plan on getting Matte Black wheels so maybe a match unless its really unnoticeable....?
&
Also plan on getting Carbon fiber splitters, Carbon Fiber Diffuser and OEM BMW E92 M3 Rear Spoiler Alpine White.. Car is Alpine white if not aware...
Suggestions appreciated...

Thank you,
Allan

these are more personal preference... if u like the matte look, then go all out with matte... cf always look great on white. i have a mineral white e92 m3 and im planning on loading it up with cf (grille, fender grille, hood vent, lip, diffuser, etc), but cf is always more expensive, so it'll depend on ur budget...

and i'd recommend getting the car first before u buy the mods... there's no need to rush and buy them before hand, cuz there may be fitment problems which u wont know of until u get your car, so by the time u get your car and u test it out and it doesnt fit, the vendor may not be willing to refund or replace... just a warning on that...

I would recommend waiting until aftermarket retailers start releasing body parts for the 2011 models, as they are buckets cheaper than the OEM BMW ones and just as good. Bimmian has the black grilles available (no carbon fiber yet). Just my two cents for what it's worth.

Just sand and spray paint your own grilles. Cheap and fun DIY.

If you are going with matte wheels, I would match the rest of the car with matte grills and emblems.

Appreciate the opinion, but i have been told by a few people the grills are not really noticeable unless your up close but from a decent distance the difference is barely noticeable...?
