So I just blacked out my grills....
How bad do they look? I decided to go with vinyl since its not permanent but Im going to redo them because the vinyl is a little creased in the corners. I ran out of time and couldnt do the slots but I think I may just leave them the way they are... opinions? [sorry for the crappy quality pix, i was too lazy to get the real cam]

Looks good, but I think total coverage satin/matte black looks better on the white. That's the way I went. At least the bright chrome is covered. Great license plate.

If it had black slats then yeah the blackout trim around it would look good, but I think its too much contrast as is

my paint is really starting to chip now after 2 months. I think i am going to try and use the tape like you.
The silver fins look kind of weird IMO. Black out the entire grill out and get rid of the reflector. |

Looks pretty good, but you gotta do something about those slates.
Take some sand paper and sand down the slates. Then some plastic spray and a do a bunch of light coats, finish up with the clear coat of your choice (I'd do matte). Install next day and post pics And I luv your plate.

looks great! Black grills is the only way to go on a white z4.... As suggested I would paint the actual slats black too or you could just buy a set of z4m grills.
