Did a search for "e60 black grill" and multiple options come up ranging from $25 - $60. Worth it, or should I stick to the ones from Trinity($70 I think)?

Go with Trinity! Support the vendors who support the forums especially when the difference in price is so little.

Ive seen those cheapy grills in person and they dont look right imho and the material is garbage ( you get what you payed for ). I highly recommend trinity.

Yeah makes sense...

Now for a black car is the Matte finish what you would go with or the "shiny" or is there an option from them?

I bought one on ebay for $40 shipped and it is probably no different from the more expensive ones.

Definitely recommend purchasing from a known source like one of the board sponsors. We've got them and Trinity has them as well. You can save a bit of money by going with Ebay but you lack the support and proven fit and finish.

I bought mine on ebay. I forget what I paid, but the quality was very high. The problem with ebay is that it is a crap shoot. You never know what you will end up with.

You can't go wrong with Trinity, plus you know they will only send you a quality part. Plus, you will be supporting a business that supports our forum!
