If you don't like chrome, can you remove the chrome grilles from a BMW X3 or X5 and replace them with glossy black grilles? Absolutely, and here's how to do it: First, you need to get the black grilles, which you can find on Amazon with the code B0B23JGW4Z for $63.99 per pair, with free shipping for Prime members.

On the top of the hood, there are three clips that you will loosen with a flathead screwdriver: this will be enough to release the grille from its housing.

Then, it's just as easy to reinstall it. Align it at the top and then snap it in from the bottom. A firm push and it's done!
