Gloss and Matte Grilles?
Does anyone make kidney grilles that have a gloss outer ring with matte center slats?

The OEM M Performance grills has gloss outer rings. While the slats have gloss front and matte sides.

I believe the M5 grill is like that.

When you say "gloss outer rings" do you mean gloss black, or chrome (silver)?
If you want black rings, as the other poster said the "M Performance" grill is black rings and black slats. The M5 grille (I have one) has chrome rings and black slats. The front of the slats is gloss black (shines) and the sides of the slats are matte. I would have preferred the fronts be matte, and some people have painted them flat black themselves or plastidip as another poster mentioned.

I'm looking for the outer rings to be gloss BLACK and the inner slats be completely matte black. It looks like I will need to create these myself. Thinking I will purchase the LCI M5 grilles and perform this transformation either by myself or via an auto body shop.

Where did you order the M5 grills?
They look great.

Thanks. I bought them on eBay for $100 from someone who put the all-black grilles on.
http://ind-distribution.com/ind/cate...grille-set-910 will give you OEM grilles with the rings painted any factory color.
