I recently installed matte black kidney grills. I liked how they looked in pictures on other cars, but not sure if I like them on mine. Hard to see, but I also changed out the chrome/white led sidelights for smoked with yellow lights. All from Trinity, thanks Nerwyll!
Maybe I just need to get used to them.
Why do I have a feeling i'll be plastidipping my rims soon.
Here we go towards the Dark Side!...
Opinions on the grills?

 

Don't touch those wheels!

 

You're right, i don't think I could bring myself to do it anyway :thumbsdown: They just look too good as is ,and the black ones i've seen lose the depth and blend in too much.

 

Maybe you ought to consider the painted/gloss black grilles?

 

Regarding the grills, I like the chrome trim with gloss black slats. Don't touch the wheels.

IMO, on black E60s, I like the definition you get from the chrome trim on the grilles, and gloss black slats are like a finishing touch.

 

I'll give it a week or so to see if they grow on me Thanks for everyone's input!

looks sweet on a black e60

 

Matter of how you like your E60 really.

The chrome definitely makes the front stand out more. If I still had a pair of chrome grilles, I would throw it back on just to switch things up, lol.

 

I had the matte black grilles...looked cheap to me. I put my chrome ones back on with the OEM gloss black slats. Maybe I'll put the OEM gloss black on to change things if I'm in the mood.

If I were you I would stick with chrome or gloss black.







P.S. For the wheels, there are a couple of members here that painted the center indented strip on each spoke black. It looked pretty good. You can use plastidip for that to see how it looks.
