I kind of like it. I wonder if you would get tired of it, though.

I say go for it- it's different. Besides- wheels are interchangeable. People buy and sell those faily often. If you grow tired of them in a year or so, it's easy to change since it's not what I would call a permanent mod.

I like it, I think you should do it.

Also, consider painting (or at least using vinyl) the roof black too.

Check out C24Owner's car, he has a black grill on silver and it looks pretty damn good.

i am from the middle east, lebanon. my car was bought from the states. i also have other cars. here are some worthy cars to mention ( 2007 white bmw 550 m sport package, 2008 black bmw x5, 2005 white bmw 330 convertible. 2001 bmw 540, 1992 mercedes sl ( just about 24000 km , rarely used ) 2004 s55 amg, ex 2001 bmw m5, ex 2007 indianapolis red M5, ex 2007 white bmw 335, ex 2006 white range rover supercharged and previous 2005 and 2004 range rover hse, and 3 previous x5's
currently on order, 2008 mercedes c350 with full amg body. looking forward to that.
all cars mentioned are shared among 3 brothers and parents (mother and father)
i have an obsession with cars, i am to eager to completely flip out cars we own into something completely modified, but i am limited or held back due to lack of after market tuning parts. everything i want, i would have to get it by order from the internet

most of our cars are bought from saudi arabia, the place where u find cars in their best form. i will post most of them. cars are replaced often, here are some i previously posted on cardomain. that would make the process faster rather than uploading all the pics:
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2659958
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2039645
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2039671
other cars are the following pictures. it is funny how i have folders of each and every one of them with tons of pictures. just a few cars that no longer have pictures of due to damaged hard disk such as the 2004 x5 4.4, 2005 x5 4.8, and the 2001 bmw m5

I say get some replica Mono-S and black them out like that. It'll flow better with your bumper.

nice cars!

i was watching something on like dateline or 20/20, and they said that in saudi arabia, billionaires pay like 20 million for license plates! do they also do that in lebanon?

^rlee has some good taste, those rims look real good. you can look at cappa's signature to see how they look on your car.. if it was darker!

This is just an idea...but what if you color matched the grill white with the white on your car. I think it'd look pretty sweet with the rims blacked out like that.

we dont pay that much for license plate, but we do pick them right the bmw 550 has 550 license plate, the 330 has 330, the e60 m5 has 500, the range rover hse has 999.

i wish the car was white, it would have been a much easier decision, but it's silver.
