F10 M5 Black Grills and Gills...Yet?

[MistaVauros]

Has any of the aftermarket companies released the black grills and gills for the new M5? I'm sure MOST of you cannot stand the chrome look on the car.

Chrome

I generally agree that chrome sucks but on AW I don't think it looks too bad.

i'm also looking to buy black or cf gills & kidney grilles.

[SpotM5]

how about the chrome strips on the door handles? I agree that the black out treatment looks great, but those door handles need to change too

From the website:
BMW M PERFORMANCE BLACK KIDNEY GRILLES / $140.00
These high-gloss black kidney grilles enhance the sporty and menacing character of the BMW 5 Series.
This product is not compatible with vehicles equipped with Optional Nightvision (SA6UK).

Does anyone know why? I ordered the Night Vision for unknown reasons besides sick factor, but will change the kidney grilles asap.

The difference is there's a camera in the front grill of the models with the night vision option. That's why these aren't compatible with that option.

And they're much harder to replace. Without NV it's a simple "rip" and replace.

I think the chrome looks good on MCB. Black grilles on MCB look rubbish.

I ended up having my night-vision grills painted, the difference between night vision vs regular is:

1. Camera mounting hole
2. Difference in empty space between grills
3. Front is covered with glossy paint, rear is matte
