What color M7 grill kit?

I am getting my all blakc MCS in hopefully at the end of may. I am going to order somethings before i get the car to have ready to install when the car is in. I want to order the M7 grill kit, but my problem is I am not sure if i should get the silver or the black. What do you guys things would look good on an all black MCS? Silver or Black grill?

Thanks,

Garrett

An all black MCS, I would leave it all black . I might look out of place in grey.

I reckon definitely black it all out. All black looks much cooler IMO.

Definitely black... I hope to get a set of black ones myself. I've seen both colors in person, and those grilles are really nice products... They make the lines so clean, perfect IMO.

I got the exterior chrome upgrade kit on my '04 MCS but am really getting over it now. I love the look of the Aero Kit grill and have been contemplating this swap-over recently.
Have also seen the M7 grill (alas, only in pictures) and think it looks great, plus it's steel, not plastic. :smile:

However, i've only ever seen pics of the silver option (the black one on the M7 website doesn't give you the best idea of what it looks like), and I don't particularly like the silver.

When you get it on your new baby, please post some photos so I can get a good look at it, and enjoy...

Well i just realized that the grill kit is only for the upper and middle which is 200 and than another 150 for the lower grill. I now change my mind and do not think its worth spending 350 for all three grills. Can you get the JCW grills and how much do they go for?

Aero Grill

The aero grill is only about $90. Need some modification (cutting - ouch!) to get it it to fit the standard MCS bumber. Here is a link for the install directions. And a pic attached of the finished product.
