Yes, I know....

Yes, I know I may be way off the deep end here but has anyone seen a custom grill for a MC? I would love to see a vertical grill, similar to the style of a regular BMW(just the grill slats and not the kidneys) made for the base MC. Since the dealers failed to install my bonnet stripes and I can't have them installed after the fact because I have invisible shield, my front end is a little plain. It's just a thought.

I have not seen a version of the "kidney" grill that BMW's have, but I plan on picking up these from Alta http://www.altaminiperformance.com/products/show/439/M7-Grille-Lower-Cooper-S-R56
There are actually 2 grills the upper & lower that I think look great.

I purposely installed my stripes over my clear bra... some people have had water seepage problems when the stripes are under the clear bra. Just something to think about. If you want stripes, by all means, add them.

Dead Ringer, that does look good. The only problem is mine is not an "S" and if I attempt to make it look aggressive, it will look funny. But that does look good.
Caulyne, my MA told me not to and if that is from experience or lack there of, I couldn't tell you. I just wanted the simple silver sport package stripes and that was all. I will look more into it though after you brought up seepage.
