Gloss Black or Black Chrome Grills on JZB E90 M3?

gobrigavitch · 06-22-2011, 10:56 AM

I recently purchased a 2009 JZB E90 M3. It has the standard Chrome grills and side gills. I'm looking to replace them with black and was originally set to get the gloss black. When I was searching for vendors I saw some threads describing black chrome. I found a couple pictures and I do like the look of them, but I didn't see any on a black car. I do like the look of the gloss black, but now I'm wondering if I'd like the black chrome better? Has anybody seen both and willing to share an opinion? Can anyone point me toward some pictures of Black Chrome on an Black E90 M3?

Don't have any pics handy, but I really like the black chrome. That slightest bit of extra contrast between that and the black (jzb) paint is nice. I'm personally not a fan of gloss black grilles on a black car. I have matte black on my JB and I think it looks good. If I were to change it would be to the black chrome/edition grilles.

Thank you. I finally found a picture of the black chrome on a black car and I really like it. There was even a side by side with one grill gloss black and the other black chrome.

I bought the BMW Performance black grilles and they look nice on my Jerez Black M3, check it out

perfect.... if you want you can vinyl your window trim as well and replace the side gills same color... thats if you like all black out then you have to replace the wheels too.. LOl

overall i like. it.

Ok.. I will point out the white elephant, oh wait they are orange.

Black chrome edition grills are the way to go. Oem part fits and looks perfect. I had matte black before this and they started to fade and look cheap n
