    ...go BLACK and never go BACK!

    here are some updated pics of the 325is...i had hoped
    to have this grill on the car before the car show event,
    but USPS Priority didn't make it a priority...

    some dude is selling these center grills on ebay...it's the
    kensu903 guy that sells the crappy euro ellipsoid knockoffs...

    anyway, i really wanted a black grill without the hassle of
    respraying the stock chrome ones every couple of weeks...
    and don't tell me that they don't chip and scratch--i've been
    repainting the ones on my e34 for 3 years...and it's a real
    hassle...this dude is selling an Asian version with black
    molded kidney trims and, surprisingly enough, the quality
    is pretty good and the fitment is snug...a little pricey at
    $32.95, but it's only money and you'll make more...

    i also bought some black aftermarket e34 kidney trims from
    another seller on ebay a couple of weeks ago...woo hoo!
    i can finally throw away those satin black spray cans!

            looks great. I usually hate all black but the clears help with a little contrast.

                looks great. Krylon Fusion works really damn well though, for me at least

                    I did this to my car. Resprayed the side grilles black, and sprayed a extra kidney black. All finished drying at night, and I had to leave for a trip at 6 in the morning. I'm getting back on Monday at 11PM. I'm not going to see my car for a while in light, but that was just a rambling story.

                    Your car looks too awesome with that grille, makes me want to get home and check mine out. :)
                    The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

                          That is my all time favorite e30. And as everyone else said it makes me wanna cry after seeing mine.

                            the drivers front quarter has been reshot because the original
                            owner's daughter scraped the car while backing another car
                            out of their driveway...stupid teenage girl...but the rest of it is
                            original paint...it's amazing how black the car still is after so
                            many years...

                              Bert, loose the e36 wannabe mirrors and your car can have my complete and utter approval & respect.

                              The mirrors completely ruin a otherwise awesome car (for me anyways)
