I would go Satin Black though, do the grills as well

these came on my car and i first i did not like, they have grown on me. satin black is really the only way to match the grill, i think they only suit the black and grey cars.
for a pic.... it rained here last March so all dry!! we do howvere have dust storms!!
closer..

They do make the car look really cheap at the end of the day its no different to putting eye brows on a vauxhall chavalier or Corsa and we all know what the people who do that sort of thing are like!
Dont do it its a cheap mod for cheap people!
The only car that can even slightly pull off an eye brow is the old golfs as it goes all the way across and looks more like a bonnet extension but i still wouldnt do it even to a golf
