I feel like no one here really likes the matte black kidney/side grill. They don't look that bad.

Sure, I'll agree with you .... but only if your hood vents are matte as well

Is that a matte/satin finish on your wheels? Even better!

Looks nice. Factory frozen silver or a matte silver wrap?

BimmerRookie · 08-11-2016, 09:39 AM

I always like to stick gloss with gloss and matte with matte, but in some cases it doesn't apply.

Looking good man! I wouldn't have it any other way on my SSII. Everything is blacked out except the gunmetal wheels, which I love.

Actually no, just SSII

If i had unlimited funds I would make it all matte black.....but I don't. I like the matte black stuff even when it doesnt match. I will probably be putting on a matte black grill soon. It wont match hood vents but oh well, I like it and the car is really just for me

I think it looks good and does a good job bringing the cars paint out more, but it just looks a little cheap. I think I'm going to get the cf grills next.

I don't like to mix gloss and matte. If you have shadow line trim, it's mixing.

Doesn't look like either to me.

I've had matte grills for the longest time. I like gloss though but no reason to switch.
