*** A few more mods on my Jet Blk 4.8i (Lots of pic's) ***
Started with the 214 wheels and lowered the vehicle with H&R 1.2" springs and adjustable custom rear links. Then installed the Aero kit and upgraded to 215 wheels in ferric grey. Removed original roof rails and replaced with powder coated high gloss black M Sport rails to match shadowline black trim. Finally installed black high gloss kidney grills and carbon fiber roundels and center caps...

I still really like the look in the first pic! I'm not 100% sure about the black grills. Now the grey mesh stands out and I may have to get that painted black too! Then the exhaust tips, etc.

You can get the black mesh from your dealer.. they are pretty cheap.. might be quicker than painting although they are matt not gloss black.. I have both so am putting in my black kidney grilles and mesh and also painting the silver trim piece at the bottom side vent gloss black...

One thing though on having all the grilles painted black---that is going to be a rock-chip nightmare. If you are only driving it for a couple of years probably not a big deal but long term they can add up on areas other than what a clear bra (which I highly recommend) can cover.
