Where do I get Mods?

I assume I might get in trouble for this, because there might be some other place to find this, although I have been looking and haven't found it.

I want blacked out kidney grills and I don't know where to get them for the 1M coupe?

IND sells a cosmetic package with the black grills and black side gills. You can also choose tinted lens for the gills. Here ya go.

I just bought the high gloss black BMW Performance grills at getbmwparts.com for $46 each. They look great!

Opinions

BSM I'm going to powder coat the rims black. Maybe a middle of the road gloss.

Black Matte or Black Gloss grills, what to do what to do?

Also would it look out of place to leave the side markers chrome and everything else black?

Black on black on black on black on black hahaha kidney, rims, sides, tint, I personally like the gloss look on all, and would personally leave the head and tail lights normal
my two cents

I am all for the dark rims, in fact considering the original BMW M3 GTS rims (same as ours, just black). You can see them listed under the BMW Performance line.

As far as kidney grills, I had matte black on my 135i and chose to keep them for the 1///M. Personally prefer the matte look over the polished version. However, do keep in mind that your shadowline trim is indeed polished, so if you are very anal and want to keep the full stock look, polished will fit nicely.

Ditto for the side markers. I would get the IND ones (lightly tinted is my personal choice), but they too come in polished black only, so to some extent your decision there is easiler.
