Black Kidney Grill

I did a search and saw a lot of black kidney grills and questions as to if the owner had purchased them from ebay. No one had that I saw. The ebay grills go for about $29 and the others go for as much as $120 from the usual suspects. Has anyone picked up the $29 ebay black kidney grill? Any feedback?

Ebay is hit or miss in regards to grills. Contact member Trinity Autosport for OEM quality matte black grills. They offer the option of paint matched grills as well.

I highly recommend these though https://www.trinityautosport.com/merchantma...products_id=181
You can contact Nerweezy on the forum, he works for Trinity and IMO is the best vendor on this forum.

Keep in mind, you own a BMW 5 series--a $50k+ car. Don't go putting cheap parts on your car.
