TiAg E90 grill question

Beerflakes · 07-15-2007, 12:33 PM

I've been considering getting a black matte grill for my TiAg E90...

I think it might flow nicely with the rest of the car (blacklines, tinted windows, and black exterior trim)

Just curious what you guys think... Should I leave it how it is (OEM chrome grill) or get the black one? If it'll look better -- I'll go ahead and do it but if not, I'd rather just save myself the $.

I guess it only took one opinion to sway you, huh?

I like the look of matte black, should look good against your TiAg.

Good choice Matt, let us know how you like it

Alright. So the grill came in today and it seems to be very nice quality. It seems less flimsy than even my OEM grill.

However, it seems to be a little dark on my car (TiAg). I have a feeling it'll look a whole lot better when I get my windows tinted on tuesday... (35% all the way around, 50% windshield)

I'm also questioning the roundels though. The blue doesn't really match anything now. Do you guys think I should buy some CF roundels for the front, back and wheel caps?

I think it'll match the black/silver color scheme much better. (black lines, black grill, tint, silver car)

I would stick with the black theme throughout and go with either black roundels or Dynamic CF Black roundels.
