Black out grill on Imola Red

Finally got around to installing the black out grills on my Imola Red Coupe'. Looks a little cleaner than the OE chrome surrounds.

Looks mean!

I haven't gone with this mod myself since I was still interested in a bit of chrome on the car. But now I know what it would look like if I were to follow in your footsteps.

Any pics of the car in whole with the new grilles?

Dude get the black-out grills!!! Even if you end up not liking them it'll be a piece of cake to re-sell them.

I actually bought trim tape a year ago so that I could do a cheap blackout of the grilles. But I actually like the chrome bits so much that I never went through with blacking them out.

Id also like to see from a distance,

But I feel mine looks good with the chrome ring as NJ being a front plate state and I had no say on them DRILLING my bumper so I made the best of it and got the ///M plate in chrome for free as an "apology" from the dealer,

That actually goes well with the chrome ring in the grills,

I actually have a cool cosmetics mod coming up this weekend suprised no one has done it yet but its typically my style and yes it does involve M badges lol

I won't hijack Jims thread and when I'm done I'll make a new thread with pics

I bought the blackout grills for my red z4mc and prefer the chrome surround. Consequently, I have a brand new set of blackout grills for sale! $75 shipped!

Have you considered blacking out the center section of your bumper?
