Where did you get the stickers? I've gone through a bunch of them and have yet to find ones I like.

Check out this buyer:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fit-For-BMW-...item3cf15427b8

He is who I got my strips from. Proper colors and good durability so far, just wish I put more work into the application :P Will have to order another set to get a cleaner application the second time around.

Is it possible to pop the grilles off the surrounds? I like the dual slat grill but I really prefer to have the chrome surround.

Wait for a M2 to change to all black and use the stock M2 version.

You could be onto something here. Is the "M2" logo part of the dual slat grill though?

I went with the M style as well.

If you don't care abut the OEM grills, use a dremel tool to remove 2 slats, and reach in to remove. Saves you alot of work.
