Glossy kidney grills buy
I am looking to purchase a set of Gloss Black kidney grills for my E90 LCI. Any reco's for who to buy them from? I know there is JG, JBspeed, and a few other's out there.
Looking for good quality and the paint not coming off after a while, etc. and a good (read economical) price as well. Thanks fella's. |

Save yourself a ton of money and just paint or vinyl wrap your stock ones.

For vinyl, just use a good car vinyl (3M 1080, Oracal 870, etc) and perhaps an adhesion promoter and you'll be all set for a total cost of $20 or so. Plenty of users on here with vinyl wrapped roofs or entire cars that are still going strong. For paint, just do a good job with the sand/prime/paint/clear process and you'll be fine. Mine were professionally painted and they're holding up just fine. There's many other users on here who have color-matched painted grilles as well. Your call, just figure there's no point in getting ripped off and spending $85+ on a small piece of plastic.

Why not get them professionally painted if your worried it'll be like 40 bucks or vinyl which would run about the same. I did my vinyl before it even was big about 7 years ago and still holding up.
