Matte Black or Gloss Black Grille??

M Fore · 08-10-2014, 09:07 AM

What's the general consensus with these pieces?

I plan on adding the CF splitters, CF trunk spoiler and a rear diffuser...

Which finish for the grille & sides will look best?

Thanks

I'd go for gloss, considering I have the shadow glossy exterior trims pkg

Gloss black for sure it will match all the car's trims and pieces as well as the gloss black wheels and simply because it looks nicer and stands out more than the matte black.

How was that install? I have mine ready when the car arrives just rather do it myself also. I usually do all my work.

I'd only do matte if you were also doing matte black wheels. I did matte black grill, side markers and emblem on my 550i M-Sport but I also had matte black wheels so it all tied in together real well.

They have DIY videos on their website.... Use a hair dryer on the side reflectors to heat up the sticky tape...will save you time and frustration
