you have a lot of options for your grill...personally i think those chrome kits look terrible, especially on a german car. chrome just doesn't belong on these cars imo. alot of people on this forum have painted their grills, it looks pretty good on a black car, you can check it out on volcano black here...there is also a pic of a mesh grill mod on that thread...

 

Prothymos, you get that harness yet!?

As for the grill, yeah man, my car is the ebony pearl effect... which is the same thing as volcano, I think... That's my car in the link. If you go to page 3 on the link bentframe posted above, you can see my car with cleared corners and the blacked out grill. I am not a fan of the chrome up front. It makes the car look much more agressive now that mine is black.

 

i have been looking at grills for about 5 months and have yet to see a grill i really like. im not a fan of the big mesh, or the debadged - because of the hole for the hood release. this route i think it still preserves the "sport" aspect of the grill and adds that varient to make it noticable. but thats imo...

and no i haven't recieved that harness yet, thats the missing piece before i can put my system in. so hopefully it will be here monday

 

there are a few grills in that link i posted that are neither mesh nor debadged, you should check those out...
