Best place/company to buy gloss black grills?

[ajee622]

going to do the front kidney grills first. also wanted to to the side ones as well.

seeing a lot of options out there. i don't mind paying a little more for the BMW ones if they have a better fit.

Just want to see what places everyone has dealt with and fitments.

thanks

I bought the black chrome grills and gills from https://www.fcpeuro.com/.

They fit perfectly.

I also looked at the BMW ones but could not decide which ones I liked better. I went with these since they are supposed to match the black chrome window trim.

Make sure when you buy the gills you get the ones with the lights(flashers). I think you can get them with or without.

Have you tried a search? Or do you know how to perform one? It's cool if you don't, but I've noticed all of your threads in the general section have been answered before and can be found from the search function!

Just try it out once....

Just go query iND for a bit... http://ind-distribution.com/

I understand the search and its features. I've also looked at ads by the vendors however I'm looking for current information.

Example: quality and fitment might change over time. Cost might as well. I'm looking for current opinions. On all these car forums people always blast new people asking questions that have been asked before.

That being said I'm sure almost every topic has been covered at one point or another since this forum has been in use. So why would anyone ever post anything?? Just search it....if we are using your rationale.

The pricing, quality, and fitment for these parts are current, stuff like grills, gilles, AE's haven't changed. Just go with what you've looked at. Can't really go wrong.

I got the OEM ones, forgot where I got them but it may have been eBay. I've found eBay to have great deals on this kind of stuff, and it's easy to forget that it's an option when you're used to just going to the usual websites.

JBspeed has the best prices on them, usually free shipping too. I know they come from China or Korea, but the quality and fitment is pretty spot on. No complaints here.

Thinking about going oem however are the oem ones gloss black??

[Thik]

Seems like a good deal. $65 shipped

Not sure about the quality of the product. I think IND is $109 + shipping. You know it's quality, but it comes at a price.

I think there are two black OE options. Gloss black and black chrome ( aka edition)

Someone correct me if I'm wrong

I believe that is correct.

I did gloss black because it matches the window trim.
