It seems like everybody here has the black kidney grilles, so much so that the titanium grilles are kind of refreshing! Don't get me wrong, I like the black kidney grilles too.

Chrome Kidney grills has its place...like with the chrome window trims and other chrome accents on the Xline or Lux line.. but on a Msport with black window trim aka shadowline trim chrome trims look out of place and awkward IMO.

In my opinion it has to flow with the rest of the vehicle trim... If the vehicle has gloss black window moldings and roof rails then the grills and exhaust tips should be gloss black. If the vehicle has the polished/chrome trim then the standard grills should be in play.

Well... it seems pretty unanimous. Considering I also have an M-Sport w/ High Gloss Roof Rails and Shadowline Exterior Trim, it looks like I'm going to have to join the black kidney grill gang.

I thought about that but I hear they aren't as strong as without....the rears are offset per manufacturer hard to see in the photo...but I think spacers on the rears would help for a more aggressive stance...just extremely nervous to drive with them...

Quick new mod thanks to Dubsesd

I must say that in person those skirt trim pieces has a pretty big visual impact on the car.
