Solution to the Black or Chrome Kidney Grille Question

K9Leader · 04-11-2019, 09:24 PM

Well, this is one way to settle the chrome or black kidney grille debate . . .

(Not my car, just happened to see it in a parking lot and have seen it driving around near where I live.)

Definitely chipped paint.

He ran out of spray paint midway through the job, lol.

Black for sure! I purchased a set I have on my E90 and love them.

I saw a grille delete the other day. Have fun picking a bird out of your radiator

Chrome border with black slats. By far the most classic and correct look.

Yep, I agree - chrome surround w/black inserts is the classiest look.

As they say: Once you go chrome and black...

I prefer the opposite to this, how they did it on the 'is' models. Its expensive as you essentially need to buy two sets and to make up one, but looks awesome. How I looks on mine:

Ha, maybe once a month. Your hood ornament looks very shiny.

It all depends on what you are trying to do. If you are gonna black out the car, then you have to go all in, or it will look odd.

Very classy look and yes I agree as well

S65Hunter · 05-01-2019, 08:55 PM

I personally like the gloss all black look. I'm not a fan if chrome unless it's on an old Caddy
