taibanl · 12-16-2011, 10:58 AM

Do it yes or no?

Slow_335i · 12-16-2011, 11:08 AM

yes

Messiah62 · 12-16-2011, 03:52 PM

any pictures of the black kidneys on a black 3series?

NiVeDh · 12-16-2011, 04:26 PM

No. Looks weird if they don't match. Get gloss black kidneys and gloss black trim.

i have black kidneys & black trim (both matte) and it really compliments well

HurtsMyWorld · 12-17-2011, 01:26 AM

I rolled with gloss black grills and chrome trim. Actually went well. I also had matte black rims on, tinted tails, and window tint. But I decided to finally matte black the trim and it made it a alot better.

taibanl · 12-17-2011, 03:02 PM

thinking i may wrap the trim gloss black vinyl later

Messiah62 · 12-18-2011, 08:54 PM

i have sapphire black. Will that look good with the black grills?

Ding ding ding! Here's your answer.

Only because I did the same thing...then did black exhaust tips...

taibanl · 12-27-2011, 10:17 AM

Done!

Now I just need black lower mesh in the corners.

PTA85 · 01-09-2012, 09:22 PM

I just sprayed my lower mesh grill. I first sanded it down with 1000 grit, primed it then painted it matte black. They look so much better and they haven't chipped or peeled and it's been about 4 months now.

do it. I have glossy grilles and left the window trim chrome so that my car is not murdered out. I find it to be too black and have no lines on the car that is why i left my window trim alone
