I lost my beloved G35 w/Full Aero Kit (head-on, all air bags crash w/ another newbie) to the cause of my Son's ongoing driver education/experience.
While I did trade-up to my 545i in the deal, I have missed all the mono-chromatic silver the G35 displayed at the front.
So... I did this test run (I still have the black plastic set) on my 545i sub-grill. I am proud that I did it all myself, but does it suck, or am I in luck?

I can't say I love it but I can't say I hate it. Probably need to see some daylight pictures to really know for sure. ![Think](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/think.gif)
Either way, welcome to the forums wmhandy! (And thanks for posting your first message in the proper forum...that's something many of our "veterans" can't seem to get right!)
