Gloss Black Kidney and Side Grilles
Hi Guys,

Finally got a brake from work and decided to do some DYI mod on the M5. Could have not done this mod without the vast knowledge on this board. I decided not to paint the entire from and side grilles gloss black. I wanted some contrast; thus i have left the vertical part of the front grille chrome because the inner part its already gloss black. I only painted the chrome part of the side grilles gloss black and left the rest matte black. Lots of cautious taping. I am very pleased with the outcome. I think it flows very well with my gloss black lip wheels. I still need to drop the car. All comments are welcome.

Thank you guys. The wheels are BC Forged. I ended up wet sanded and buffed the kidney grille because i was not happy with the orange peel. Now its really high gloss.
