Request for pics, matte and gloss kidney grills on TiAg.

Please post pics of both. Deciding whether to get matte black or gloss black kidney grills.

Thanks.

Go with the gloss. I got a matte and was thinking of painting the surrounds gloss and leave the slats flat. I'll do it this weekend and will post a pix.

Go with the matte, otherwise the mismatch between the grills and the FMIC grill will look funny...

Depends on what you are doing with the rest of the car, if you do the matte look, carry it throughout.

i like gloss, it matches the rest of the shadowline trim

I think I will do gloss. To match the trim.

What company did you go with for the gloss kidneys?

if your going to go gloss you could go with the BMW OEM replacements if you want a 100% match
