I am on the fence about installing my flat black kindey grills on my otherwise stock, non sport package 545i. Only mods on the car are shadowline trim and 20% tint. Anyone have pics of them on their otherwise stock looking car?

It is with the M-tech package, but with a bit of imagination :-)
I actually choose to take only the gloss black rings and transfer the chrome inserts from the old grills

Not exactly what you are after for a picture, but just to give you an impression.

I'd do it, i put mine on with even less than you (silver trim and untinted windows) because IMO it's a start and its not like it looks dumb.

I went with the matte black on carbon black body. Looks good with the shadowline trim but it does make the head light chrome trim stand out a bit more. Would like to "debling" that portion but hesitant about tearing apart the headlights.

Definately go with Trinity. Great quality and quick shipment.
