Even if you end up not liking it, worst case scenario, you put the chrome ones back on and sell the black ones on the forum for probably 90% of what you paid.
It only takes about 10 min to switch them out.

Well, I cancelled the order. The more I look at a black 5er with black grills it looks too murdered out. No contrast. I didn't dig it. =\
Any other color EXCEPT black, I think it would look sweet.

I like paint matched....I tried the matte black, but didn't really like them that much (or at least not as much as the jet black paint matched)
But contrast is not really my thing. Obviously
