I am trying to go for that Batmobile look on my CarbonBlack Dinan S1
To give you proper advice, I would need to see your car. What wheels are you running, tint %s, stance, etc.? Can you post a couple pics?

Reverend, did you prep the grill at all (sanding, etc)?

M5 ForMe, how is the quality of that grill? It looks damn nice.

Anyone have tips for removing the grill? I'm real good at breaking things like this.

The fit and finish of the grill are very good. Better than I'd expected.

Yes, I sanded them prior to painting with 400grit to help adhesion. I am very pleased with the results.

Black is a real winner for me however the Matt Balck that I chose also seems to give a little contrast against the CB exterior.

Reverend73, how come your car has the Sport Bumper/Fender as opposed to the e39 M5 specific?
