Full paint match.

matte
Gloss black. I like the matte the most, but like you said the grills won't match. Fully paint matched is way too much going on.
Edit Actually looking at the pictures again, I think the matte will look fine with the gloss grills. Matte.

My favorite is bottom half color matched but I'm leaving mine matte. It came matte so I'd have to pay to have it painted and worry about the paint getting pretty beat up in short order and not looking good.

I am really feeling the Matte or Gloss. Painted options are out. Being a lip, the first time it scuffs on an incline I'll die.
I think I'm just gonna go Matte, and then try my hand at 3m wrapping it in gloss black if I'm unhappy with the Matte look.

I feel faux CF is ok inside the car, but outside should be real CF

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

$50 Amazon specials. Decided I liked the Dual Slat (m3/4) knockoffs.
Fit is good, some minor flaws in the finish. If they start to get f'd, I'll actually drop the coin on the Genuine BMW grills. ![[Image: ad2907d03c7034118ae37363affa680f.jpg]](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180419/ad2907d03c7034118ae37363affa680f.jpg) ![[Image: b32941f56671dc163b34277370c969f9.jpg]](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180419/b32941f56671dc163b34277370c969f9.jpg) If anyone attempts this, I was able to use a trim tool, reaching through the grill to disengage the clips. Some tutorials just say to pull hard, or unbolt the top half of the bumper and pull it out a bit. But I was able to avoid brute force and unbolting things. If you have fat hands and hotdog fingers you may have issues. |
