I got tired of the matte black look. In the sun the matte black just looked awful, a recent highway boulder left its mark and I wanted a change.

I knew I wanted something shiny and since not everyone has the M3 edition black chrome I wanted to give it a try. I like the chameleon effect the finish has in different lighting.

Here's two pics and then the way it was before. I like it much better now. They were 114 shipped from bmwpartspros.com (Steve Thomas BMW I think). The fitment was actually off slightly on the drivers side grille. I had to use a hair dryer to heat up some of the tabs and bend them slightly to make sure all tabs clicked into place.

Future mods are mtech rear, Duke CF diffuser at the moment. Contemplating M3 sides and LCI tails. Anyone have a spacer recommendation? My rear is slightly tucked running the AG M359 19x10 ET 38 on 265 tires. I'm thinking a 10mm would be perfect, a 12mm would be pushing it. I don't plan to drop, my car already scrapes getting into my driveway (it's awful).

Thanks for looking!

Understandable. Car looks great. Definitely get the M3 sides next! Completely changes the look of the car.

I have the same upgrades as you, my next mod is the m3 sides. Just bought my new 18 summer wheels and tires can't wait to put them on!

Thanks! It's definitely on the list and I agree it does completely change the look. My mtech rear should be done around July and I will probably do either the LCI tails or M3 sides around the fall. The other will come next spring and I'll be done modding (if that's possible lol)

That's awesome! Yea these grilles are great, I love the shine and chameleon mirror effects. Very cool stuff. Congrats on the new wheels!

Here you go, they are individual (R and L). The best price I know of for them.
