Black or Chrome?
So I am going to check out what I think of a black grill and got a second one for the task. I am working on it today and Just took a picture for this poll. I am not done yet it's still a little tacky so i'm going to let it sit, hit it with some sandpaper tomorrow and then hit it with another coat or two of paint, what do you guys think? Chrome:  Black:  Sorry its shitty here and my car is also dirty I will try to get some better pictures when its nice. |

sorry, but I think it is a crime to black out the signature chrome kidneys. IMHO. looks okay, still a crime.

Once I get them done nicely and the weather changes I will try to get some better pics. I bought the 2nd set incase I didn't like it so I could still go back to chrome if I want to. Since they were only on the car for about 30 seconds for a picture I do not have an opinion yet. |

black is hot, plus I think with you tracking your car also, it gives it more of a performance look to it.

There is alredy so much balck on the front of the car that the chrome looks better. The black gets lost in all of the other black.

I put the black on for the 1st time today after painting and i think it looses some of the carachter of the car, you cant tell what it is until your close. Although from up close I think it looks pretty good. I'm going to give it a few more days and make a decision, at this point i think the chrome one is going back on and I will sell the black ones. |

honestly, i think you need the chrome to break up the massive black region of the front of the E30.
