I am pretty sure he was talking about the vertical bars that make up the grills.

I believe it will look good only if you have other red parts on your car. Do it and post some pictures up

For me putting anything red onto an E60 is a big NO NO. The support beams, I think, will look good because they are not in the foreground.
