Black kidney grills

Does anyone have black m sport kidney grills? I went to look at them at Northfield BMW and they were kind of cheap and plasticky. Can someone send some cool pics and would you recommend them or something else...

There are some pics if you do a search...but many people are 50/50 on how it looks on a black car. I was considering it but still up for debate. It might be suitable more for lighter colour cars.

The best option in my opinion are the black with chrome ring - like the new M5. I will be putting them on my car soon. There was a link to a place that sells them just a couple of weeks ago.
