    I think you should run whatever you like better. I like the black personally. I put a chrome back on my car for a day after years with a black grille and I hated it.

    Needs a body colored front lip though.

          I ran black kidneys on my triple white M-tech cabrio for a while but put the chromes back on with a set of eurogrilles this last weekend. I'm torn, both are nice. The black is more of a badass statement, the chrome's a touch of class.
          Let's go exploring!

            On your car? Chrome, it is a pleasant contrast against the dark blue.

            "Having won more road races than any other model in history, the E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world's most successful road race car." - Simply put, E30s kick ass.

                Black makes your car look more modern. I personally don't have a preference.

                  Loose them entirely, less weight, more airflow. Colin Chapman would be happy.

                    yeah with that dark color you should have left your trim chrome. But since it
                    's shadowlined black kidneys. one piece of chrome looks dumb, all trim chrome looks balla (is that what the kiddies are saying these days?)

                      Sport the chrome and sell the black one to me :)

                      Or at least lead me to where you got the black kidney, I don't want a spray painted one.

                          Black on your car FTW. It depends on the condition of the chrome on the kidneys though. The chrome kidney's on my E30 were in poor condition, so I painted them black.

                                no such thing unless you buy the corny kidney COVERS

                                I could've just told you mine came black, but I'm not going to.

                                I'll sell you my black kidneys, you couldn't even tell they were painted black.
