Black Kidney Grill Source?
Anyone found a reliable source to get black kidney grills? There are a ton of options on eBay, but we all know that can be risky. Has anyone bought from eBay/Amazon recently with good luck? (good fitment, quality, decent price)
Threads I found discussing were too old and had dead links.

I got mine from eBay some time ago and quality and fitment was good. Seller was youstar_usa. Not sure if they still have them available but they still look great after about a year.

I had some bad luck with a $50 set from Hong Kong or China about 18 months ago. Can’t see the merchant from my eBay order history, but packaging failed to prevent roughly half of the retaining clips from breaking off during shipping. Essentially useless at that point. Gave up and consider it a lesson learned.

Kidney grills are some of the least expensive mods out there. Given that, not sure why you're looking at the crap on eBay? Why not just buy OEM given the price point?

I have the ebay ones and they are crap no matter which supplier you go with. I have ordered OE Black grills now.
