Check My Pics

B3astmode · 12-11-2011, 11:48 PM

which grill looks better? I have the 335i with the stock grill and am trying to decide between regular chrome or the black seen in the other pic. I trust you guys, which looks better?

arctic330i · 12-12-2011, 12:09 AM

Black!

J3NGOe90 · 12-12-2011, 12:09 AM

glossy black!

B3astmode · 12-12-2011, 12:42 AM

So black 2 and Chrome 0. Glossy black would be cool. I need more opinions please!

B3astmode · 12-12-2011, 10:04 AM

I'm thinking glossy black. Weigh in though. What do you think?

ZZZZ · 12-12-2011, 12:59 PM

I've always had matte black grills.
In this case though, I'd go with the chrome on a gray car. Pops much better, I find in the pics the black takes away from the car more than contributes.

In this case, looks like more of a mod you do because you want to mod something.
In that pic the chrome also pops better with the intercooler behind the lower grill.

Black!!!

Elliott@DetailAddict · 12-12-2011, 02:15 PM

Best of both worlds... get the 335is Black Chrome grills.

I agree with this but it appears most people do not. I'm also considering doing A roof spoiler and Rear deck spoiler. So perhaps I'll leave the grills

JGMODS · 12-12-2011, 04:49 PM

Gloss black grills would look perfect.

I also agree. To me...I'd go chrome on a gray or silver car.

B3astmode · 12-12-2011, 10:07 PM

Looks like black is still winning the race here. But I am still more on the side of chrome

electricjet · 12-13-2011, 09:04 AM

... black my friend ... just ordered "gloss black" myself

(OEM)

and i am bummed that nobody makes a "gloss black" for my other automobile

John 328i · 12-13-2011, 08:07 PM

I also say best of both worlds. Do the black and chrome. Chrome just looks classy and black looks sporty. If your under 25 years of age you may want all black. If your older, do both. It's a maturity thing.

rollinstone157 · 12-13-2011, 08:44 PM

The black chrome grilles on the 335is look great, you should get those!

B3astmode · 12-13-2011, 10:52 PM

335is is BLACK CHROME? I gotta check a pic. Thank you all very much I love this forum
