Best quality matte black grill for E90?

I need some opinions. I wanted a matte black OEM grill and their are none and everyone says I will be paying out the nose. I would like to know what is the best quality perfect fit matte black grill for an E90?

I do not want some cheap looks sloppy fitting grill. I am pretty anal and want things to look right.

I know you will all have the answer for me.


Thanks in advance,


EricO

I bought mine from there. Fitment is perfect, and it looks excellent, imo.

$45.00 + shipping. Not bad compared to BMW performance. I may just order a set. Thank you.

spdy330,
you planing on painting the bottom grills too? (on the front bumper)..im just wondering because I just ordered my black grills for my e92 from ebay for $41 so we are in the same boat. and I was wondering if the bottom grills would look bad if not painted now because everything else will be black..you know what im trying to say?

I tried to order it from them but their web site must be broke. There was stuff in my shopping cart in excess of $800 and I had never been to the site before. When checking out has a guy named Ryan with his address information their. When I try and change it nothing happens. Stays Ryan's name for the ship to and myname for bill to. I think I will need to call them directly.

You know I never though about that. I will need to look at the bumper in the morning. I was planning on Shadowlines, matte black grill and possible later down the line paint the roof gloss black. I am not sure if I like the vinyl idea.

Okay I just ordered them. Hopefully they work out good. I am pretty picky

I figured out what happened. The link you posted for some reason had someone elses information. I had to log out and create an account.

Thanks for the information. I am looking forward to installing it.

hmmm... Maybe but I want it to look right now with little imperfections or bubbles. This is my weekend car that is a play toy so I do not mind doing it right the first time.

Ok, you need to make a complaint because I'm able to see all of your information from the web site.

Let us know how it goes! I've been looking for some for my E90 as well but it hesitated because the ones a friend of mine ordered for his own car didn't fit that that well..

Thanks for letting me know. I am going to complain about that. I had issues at first ordering because it showed someone elses infomration. Can you go back and recheck and let me know?

That is what I am worried about but I should know before next Friday. Shoot me a PM next week and I will let you know. I can share pictures if you would like to see them.

You are too funny. zillow.com is great

So it looks like their web site has a flaw. If you do not log out the next person who connects will see the previous persons information. That is just not right!!!
