Request: Black or Carbon fiber grills .....?

Stunnerable · 01-14-2009, 08:59 PM

I was wondering if anyone had pics of a Jet Black M3 comparing the Black grills and the carbon grills. I'm going to order mine now.. before I get the M. Want to know which looks best.

I just did the black grill recently. Looks great. I'll try to snap a few pics.

Peter at *******perts has our matte black grill on the front of his car and will be installing the side gills soon. Hopefully he posts some pics after these are installed.

Just came across Rook's thread:

Stunnerable · 01-19-2009, 01:19 PM

Thats beautiful!

Bimmer Nerd · 01-19-2009, 10:10 PM

^ thats matte black right ? looks tight.

Rook · 01-19-2009, 11:58 PM

hope those help, sorry the pics are a little funny, it was gloomy when I took them and the lighting was all funky so I played with it and thats why they look a little different one to the next. I think I nailed the last one though

Stunnerable · 01-20-2009, 10:00 AM

Awesome.. thanks so much. I think even without seeing the CF grills I want to go the black route.

SV Concepts III · 01-20-2009, 11:29 AM

I prefer the black out look on Jet Black unless you have the CF theme.

991brothers · 01-20-2009, 01:01 PM

black. carbon fiber doesnt save that much more weight.

SV Concepts III · 01-20-2009, 01:16 PM

I don't think that's the point of these, they are designed as accent pieces more than anything. A good complement if you have a CF front lip and rear diffuser.

Damn.. now your making me second guess myself. I was planning on doing those mods.. along with H&R springs and 20" 360 Forges split 5's angel eyes and tint. Does anyone by chance have a similar setup?
