I have my shadow line grill coming in the mail tomorrow and plan to DIY the install. Since I will have both the shadow line grill and the factory chrome grill, I am thinking about trying out a hybrid grill setup like I have seen some do on the G20's. Either the black surround and chrome slats or chrome surround with black slats (I think I am initially leaning more towards the first combo though since I prefer less chrome). Incidentally, looking closer at the factory chrome grill, the slats are not actually chrome (even though the surround is clearly chrome). The slats are more of a brushed aluminum color, slightly lighter than cerium grey. Also, the brushed aluminum grill slats seem to closely match the brushed aluminum on the factory 21" wheels, which may provide a nice, subtle matching contrast.

This thread is like Bartlett's book of quotations.

What is the difference between the IND and OEM blacked out grille?
Also, any DIY threads here? I've done other BMW grilles before but don't want to break any clips on this one jmciver ? |

As far as a DIY for X7 grill removal, I did see a few posts about it when the X7 was just released. It is actually quite easy to get off/on. As far the hybrid grill that I did, I did take a few pics but never did a DIY. Not that difficult to see the clips once the grill is off. Just takes patience to not brake any (and I did brake one, but it did not affect the strength of the grill).
