This cannot be unseen: a new take on the F8X grille

Took me a bit of time to figure where you blacked out but now i see it. Looks great.

A simple strip of vinyl gave me a G30/80 inspired more modern look. Easy to reverse.

Made a video on how to DIY this mod.

Thoughts??

I love it man! From headlight to headlight it just connects everything. Much more aggressive IMO. Specially now that you have blacked out headlights. I watched all your videos and enjoyed them. Keep up the good work

Looks really good, any more photo so we can get a better perspective?

JustAnothaM4 · 01-07-2020, 05:24 PM

No, I personally don't like that look.

wdskukm3 · 01-08-2020, 02:17 PM

I'm 50/50 with the look. Not sure if i want to do this on my car.

Subtle, but doesn't look bad. Probably works best with black headlights and non-white/non-dark color F8x like yours.

With the dark headlights it kinda looks like a raccoon... might try it with gloss black vinyl.

I think it would look better if it had a glossy finish like the grill, but otherwise looks cool.

Looks good with the blacked out headlights. tried it on my AW M3 and didn't like it.

at time of the photo it was the first "fitting" on the car.
meanwhile it looks perfect. another photos come at the season opening =)

i want a filgree line to the grill mask. i think its good enough and looks at the end not like cabans skodá-style
