Was really hoping to see a set of the carbon blacks on a car before I decided to switch mine over from matte black

My Ride: 2004 BMW 545i Silver,Gray, Metallic. Blk Dakota leather. Nav. Heads up disply. PDC. Pro logic 7 sound. 35% tint. Mods. MTECH body kit. OEM trunk finisher and M5 spoiler.OEM 166 wheels. Blk and wht CF Roundels. Orion V2 AEs. LCI taillights with Ricky effect. LED interior lights. LED license plate light. HID fogs. Smoked LED side markers. White cluster mod. Coding. RPI scoop & BMC filter. Gloss black OEM grills.CF interior trim. B&B exhaust.

I bought matte black grills and decided I didn't like the look on my A08 slver grey 545.
I'm thinking of going with the Gloss black or maybe even painting the chrome grills.
If I paint I'm going to go with a semi gloss black for a little more subtle look.
What do you think?

Another vote for gloss black OEM grills. I installed mine last Sat (with a raging hangover I might add) and love them!
