What color are the wheels?

The black grill makes the vehicle's kidneys look sharper and bigger imo. I would get black on any of the colors offered.

Black! Chrome is nasty!

SSM46mt · 05-19-2015, 05:51 AM

wheels are black and i may put CF rear spolier

cotmfk · 05-19-2015, 06:26 AM

If you put black wheels and cf parts on it, I'd say go for the black grill. If you don't add the cf parts, it may be a little harder decision.

lsturbointeg · 05-19-2015, 08:34 AM

+1 on Black!

I'm going black myself.

Whenever my car decides to show up.

TurboAL47 · 05-19-2015, 01:24 PM

gloss!!

CanAutM3 · 05-19-2015, 02:00 PM

I find the chrome grills flow better with the headlight clusters on a SS car, especially with the LEDs. The black grill break the flow IMO. But that is just me.

An alternative is to go with the blacked out headlight clusters combined with the black grills

Lalit@autocouture · 05-19-2015, 02:01 PM

Black!

SSM46mt · 05-20-2015, 04:40 AM

thank you for comments and photos

Kankles · 05-20-2015, 05:03 AM

IMO, if you go black grill you also need to go black side vents/badges and black rear badge (ala IND). I did this on my F30 335, to include black exhaust tips, basically a "chrome delete". The black grill looks best when complimented by black trim all around.

Black.

But why does everyone need a poll for even their most basic mods? Just do what you want- you'll rarely get the answer you're looking for anyways.

to pass the painful time waiting for the car to show up - once i see it i will know what i want - if i choose black grill it will be because "you and the forum made me do it"
