My Ride: 545 SMG Individual interior, all options except Nav & HUD.
Default

Hi all,

Expecting my 545 on the 27th..Jet black on black..I was wondering what the general consensus would be on having a blacked out grill..

1) is it cool or pimpish?

2) is it just regular paint that eventually peels off?

TIA!

IMO, black car don't go w/ black grill, but cars in light car will match the black grill pretty nice...

Ask your dealer about it before delivery.

Small image (maybe too small) of blacked out grill.

I think blacked out would be pretty good. I am looking at taking my kidney grills out and painting them the color of the car.

I'll paint it silver just like X5 grill to see how it goes. If it does not look good, I'll buy the chrome one. I cannot stand the current grill on Alpine White - it always inspires me to drive GTO when I look at those grills. J/K.
