What determines if the F90 has the camera between the kidney grilles?

I saw that there is a body colored trim piece to replace the black one between the grilles. There is a version with and without a hole for the camera. How do I know if the car I have coming has the camera there or not?

Executive package adds the cameras. Gives you 360 surround.

I have the executive package on order, so I assume the camera is there. The question is whether it will look better or worse changing the black trim piece to white with the camera. I'm getting the black kidney grilles as well.

This is a must IMO unless you have a black car.

Not if you have the black gloss kidney grills. I thought about replacing the camera trim piece until I put those grills on there. Now it looks natural to me.

Even with black grills it’s a must in my book. I have them on mine and thought it looked like it had a unibrow until I replaced camera cover with body colored option

I was on that site looking at those. My car is black. I'll have to take a closer look, but I just assume those were body colored already?

Agree, looks much better in body color.
