Modified my stock four fin grill. Tell me what you think.

So took my car in to get some minor body work done. I've been bored with the cheap eBay single fin I got so I decide to mess around with my stock grill. This is what I came up with. Painted was was grey black and left the two center inserts on to get painted black.

Agree, but with either way, I'd cover the painted fins with protective film 'cause eventually, you'll get stone chips and the chrome will show through. At least that's been my experience on painted BMW grills.

You can buy the film by the foot in 18 inch widths at

As long as you like it, thats all that matters.

Personally I think it is extremely ugly. I think it would have been better to paint all of the fins black.
