Black Grills on AW
Doing nothing this morning so I decided to try different grills.
Which one works better on AW? A - Gloss black surrounds and slats B - Matte black surrounds and slats C - Gloss surrounds, matte slats |

C. Matches your gloss black lining at the lower lips next to your fogs and the matt grill down there.
PS. Are the grills easy to remove?

WK charged me 300 before. I figured I can do it on my own. Even took me faster to do this than his mechanic. |

My vote is A as for now. If you plan to have M sport or add a front lip, Matt will do better.
I think original chrome one is not bad at all, keeps the F10 more luxury look.. |

Do you mean Jxnco's?
My note is C. The gloss ring matches with your gloss shadow line and the matt slats match with you front bumper fins. If you have M sport bumper later, the all matt combo will work as the bumper mesh is matt. Personally I think the all matt is more aggressive and sporty while the all gloss is more luxury and fancy. Depends on which route you go. Glad to know that you finally figured a way to mix and match the OE and aftermarket grills bro.

Just drive slow on ramps and speed bumps, Eibachs is not really that low, it should be fine for yours. Just like your 3D front lip before. Let's do it and at least give me and RC a comment for this..haha

Just go to the place with highest speed bumps or ramps that you usually go, stopped your car and go to the front and see how low you can go? I think it would be fine if there's an inch to go, 2 inches would be safe..
