Pics anyone??? Inquiring minds wanna know.

1 or stock chrome.

SV Concepts III · 02-25-2011, 11:15 AM

Matte black for some contrast.

Satalite · 02-25-2011, 11:22 AM

Matte black will look the best.

CF grills are subtle, but not worth the extra 70-100$

Do you have the Sport or M-Sport pkg? BMW Performance looks the best. it matches the rest of the shadowline trim.

BMW Performance makes GREAT products but way out of my price range. I an very very fond of my iCarbon Matte CF Kidney Grills.. I actually like them as much as my rear diffuser.
I will try to get a picture for ya....here ya go...also front LP frame backplate has been taken off...picture sucks, i hate to show this picture because of it, actually the LP Frame was a tad lighter in color than the Diffuser or Kidney Grills, but i was not gonna make a fuss over it.. but a good rendition of the Kidney Grills.

Did you get these CF ones from icarbon?
how much do they cost?

IZAGLO · 02-26-2011, 08:52 AM

yes...i bought from iCarbon direct.. i do not recall the price but contact them or any of there vendors...Andy gave me a nice discount..he is a nice dude!!!iThey did cost a bit more than the Cyba CF you can get but i really like the stealth look of Matte CF on the Red Sedonna and wanted the Kidney Grills,Rear Diffuser, LP Holders and any other CF piece i buy to be matte... also the matte CF matches the bottom plastic grill covering the IC in color...Actually iCarbon is about the only one doing matte so. I appreciate the gloss CF as well but for my taste is is much to flashy and glossy for me...Sedonna Red is the perfect match for Matte CF IMO...but looks are subjective and just go with what you like..I also painted my OEM KIdney Grills black and installed them to see how they looked, and they looked pretty good and you can do this for free, but no where as classy as the CF...Good luck
