I've had a Carbon Fiber Grill for months now and love it. It has a quasi-exotic look to it and I NEVER see any other E60's with it, so it's also fairly exclusive. I'm too freakin' lazy to take pictures, but take my word for it, IT LOOKS GREAT!
Pictures...pictures....pictures!!!

where are you getting the matte black ones from? ..been thinking of getting the same
I got mine from JleviSW. They had a pretty good price. I ordered a carbon fiber spoiler today though so I'm sort of thinking about ordering a set of the CF grills so the spoiler doesn't look completely out of place. If I do that, I'll be selling my matte black ones.

Just my opinion, but CF is what you put on a honda, not on a nice car like the e60. The matte will make the car look more subtle and agressive. I recently changed mine with the rims of the grilles matching the car color (titainum silver) with matte mesh and I like the change very much. Someone previously said that think the CF make the grille look bigger, but I prefer making them look smaller, more aerodynamic looking. (I realize it doesn't decrease the CD of the car.)
