Still have to get them polished. Michael (acute performance) hooked me up with them.

Ha ha ha....maybe... If I do, I have KWs in mind. Right now I don't have to worry about speed bumps, steep driveways, and rubbing when I have passengers in the back.

Here's my OEM Gloss black kidney with the stock chrome slats:

I figure the chrome slats won't make the BMW signature kidney grill disappear. Plus in low lighting, the slats sort of "dim" and they start to look like black\chrome. I know there's a lot of chrome haters here, but I think the combo will help give the car a sportier edgy look while still showing some class.

I think I will put them on when I put the front CF splitters on just to balance the car out along with gloss wrapped rear diffuser. Right now I don't even know if I should wrap the CF splitter in gloss black or leave the CF print exposed. However, maybe they will look better with a slightly lowered car.
