OEM black gloss or OEM black chrome grill?
Trying to decide which to purchase. Anyone knows the difference or has a picture side by side?
Do people mostly buy 1 over the other? Thanks!

I have gloss black gills and gloss black grills with matte slats from IND.
Makes the car look more uniform to match the shadowline gloss trim. That being said, I want to try the black chrome now. From pictures I've seen, it looks more upscale to me. I guess it would depend on the look you're going for. I have BBS LM's so I can't decide which look that would go with. |

Black chrome goes well with carbon fiber color. If you've got a carbon roof stand back so you can't see the pattern look at the color and that's what black chrome looks like

Black chrome has a metallic look to it, almost like it has a hint of gray flake. Gloss black will match the window trim which is why I chose it.

I've never even considered black chrome before but if this helps, here's a comparison to a matte black and oem black gloss on my car. I like the black gloss a lot better because it does match the window trim and the side mirrors.
