Pic request: Carbon fiber kidney grilles

jameselee · 08-24-2010, 08:30 PM

Hi everyone! I'm a new member (my first 135 test drive got me hooked), and hope to order a Space Gray 135 soon.

Does anyone have carbon fiber kidney grilles installed?

I'm planning to get the BMW Performance CF mirror caps, and debating whether to go with the BWM Performance grilles in black, or the CF ones from PYSpeed listed here: http://www.pyspeed.com/ProductDetail...de=ATT-BM-0201

I'd love to know if they match the CF mirror caps.

If anyone had a pic of these installed, I'd love to see how they look!

Thanks!

CF grills look fairly similar to matte black from a distance. All the CF that I've purchased matched well (********** kidneys, Ebay license plate frame, iCarbon lip and diffuser). CF kidneys come with matte slats, I replaced mine with my stock chrome slats. Sorry I don't have a better pic.

holy sh*t that looks amazing, can you post more pictures of your car and perhaps some closeups on the CF stuff?
