Painted Kidneys... has anyone done this?

Has anyone painted their kidneys the body color and the grills black?

Here's a pic of what I'm talking about on my old x5.

I've been thinking about painting my kidney/grills the same way. Anyone done it this way?

I got a customer in Las Vegas that did it on his Mineral White F15 X5.
He likes it.

I don't think you'd notice with CB as the paint color on the outside of the grilles...IMO, might as well go all black (matte, gloss, cf, etc.). I know IND has these in paint colors, but at $95 for the option I'd probably go matte or cf finish over paint color. https://ind-distribution.com/product?sku=BMWP-F85-FG
