Matte or performance kidney grille?
I'm trying to decide on which one to get. 2011 AW X5 3.5i

I have the matte ones on my e46 which looks ok but is very durable.

Those of you that have the performance grille does the glossy finish chip easily?

I do however feel that the matte will go better with the rest of the black trim on the truck.

Have white with the gloss black grills. Looks great with the black line trim. No issues.
