Some specs on my mods:

OEM LCI Tails with Bruce Miranda Cables
White LED Interiors
White LED side markers
Headlight Euro Sticker Overlay
4200K Fog Lights
Blue and Silver CF Hood and Trunk Emblems

My Ride: 2011.5 Alpine White E90 M3 | Black Novillo Leather | Carbon Fiber Leather Trim | ZCP | ZP2 | M-DCT | Navigation | Moonroof | 6FL Mods: TMS 12.5mm spacers all around l Hawk HPS Brake Pads l OEM M3 Edition Grills l Paint Matched Side Gills l Key Hole D
coming along nicely I think gloss black grills will definitely look great...
regarding the drop...I think it's going to happen eventually
Very nice car!! I love the shine, and your attention to detail! now post some MOAR pics!

Thanks guys! I got a lot of inspiration from a bunch of people here.
Still have to get them polished. Michael (acute performance) hooked me up with them.
Ha ha ha....maybe...
If I do, I have KWs in mind. Right now I don't have to worry about speed bumps, steep driveways, and rubbing when I have passengers in the back.
Here's my OEM Gloss black kidney with the stock chrome slats:
I figure the chrome slats won't make the BMW signature kidney grill disappear. Plus in low lighting, the slats sort of "dim" and they start to look like black\chrome. I know there's a lot of chrome haters here, but I think the combo will help give the car a sportier edgy look while still showing some class.
I think I will put them on when I put the front CF splitters on just to balance the car out along with gloss wrapped rear diffuser. Right now I don't even know if I should wrap the CF splitter in gloss black or leave the CF print exposed. However, maybe they will look better with a slightly lowered car.
