Post Your ABS/Gloss Black Grilles and Front Lips

Considering both (Vorsteiner grille, M Performance style splitter) in gloss black, but don’t see a lot of them featured here. I’m liking the CF exterior pack but keeping other parts the same black as OEM. I don’t plan on changing the side skirts or rear splitters/diff trim, so wanting to keep that consistent black level around the bottom.

Ebay lol for $150 . Can't be beaten. If it breaks after a year or so replace it with a brand new one.

Wow! How do you like the fitment? Is it only the middle piece that keeps stock sides?

No sir. It's a copy of the bmw performance front lip . It also comes with the side as well. Here's the link. I had them fitted on top the side lips.

Looks great - I’ve seen it on a couple IOMG’s now around the forum. Great contrast and uniform look. I’m pretty sold, now just figuring out how it looks with black aftermarket grill too. The fact that it works with the OEM is probably enough for me, but just haven’t really seen that combo yet.

I had the same styling challenge. I went with a combo of black and carbon.
I kept the factory black corners to match the side skirts and added the Turner carbon splitter. I decided on a black CSL style grill because I thought a Carbon grill would be too much.

Uu got a very beautiful car . I got the the csl grill as well but have not yet installed it. I was awaiting the gloss black air duct from r44 . Ism starting to wonder if I should change the original grill. 🤔 it's really growing on me. What's ur thought ?

Thank You!
The grill is all about how aggressive you want the car to look.
The factory grill is good looking. I want a meaner more aggressive looking car. CSL grill does that.

Vorsteiner abs grill and Lightweight front lip. The lip is subtle but does add a nice touch if going for that look.

Vorsteiner ABS gloss black grill. I too wanted a variation of gloss black and carbon fiber. I just installed the Suvneer lip for a little more aggressive look.
