Need your guys' opinion on the grill. Should I keep the matte black grill or change it back to the original.

Also installed new Angel eyes today.

Thoughts on the grill? and should I switch the side markers to the smoked ones also?

Ive always liked the black, but to me it depends if you have other exterior mods on your car.. ive never ben a fan of the smoked side lights.. I think it cheapens the car, but thats just my opinion.. Subtle mods are nice if your car is slightly modded with a little of this and that.. too much looks silly.. again just my opinion..

I agree.

How about smoked tail lights?

I only have tints, white angel eyes, black grill and the euro plate on the car.

This pic doesn't do justice to the car. I will take a better pic on a better platform.

The only other thing I would like to get is rims, I was thinking 19's but I figured it would screw up the ride, so I'll stick with 18's.

I have the sport option so the black grill worked for me. Makes the wagon look sinister...

What brand/model angel eyes did you go with?

If you did the install, how difficult was it?

Thanks!

I swapped the OEM back into my jet black 550i after I bought it. Even though the black was okay it just didn't pop enough. It goes well with the silver wheels. Unless you go with more black like smoked lenses, side markers etc. I would keep OEM

You have a nice one either way my friend, but i think the black looks sick on the silver e60's
