He gives u 4 grommets for installation and plus, he offered me a free emblem with the steering wheel too.
(The auction is only for trunk and hood, but i got the steering for free)

short aside here: These Ebay guys should be giving us all sorts of free products and commissions, because we are like the guinea pigs for their products. One of us takes a chance, orders some CF grill or something from Vietnam, and then after we install it, we post pics all over this site and generate new sales. This forum is the best free advertising in the world for the ebay sellers.
I've tried to reach many sellers to ask them to engage in a group buy with e60 members but they either refuse to reply, or just said no, our prices are already too competitive. They have no idea what this single forum can generate in revenue for them
Giving a lil discount wont hurt, if ur gaining many many more buyers.But yeah, then again, i recommend buying from that seller. I had excellent communciation with the seller, fast shipping services,
And a freebie (steering wheel emblem). Plus, he included grommets for installation, for someone who may potentially break an oem emblem like me... may need a new grommet to install ur emblem. (JUST IN CASE U'll break it like me =D)

I just purchased black grills and a black 530i badge to replace the chrome. (waiting for shipment)
I was thinking about adding these carbon fiber emblems to my car too. Here is just an example of what I am talking about. I would be getting them for all of the emblems on the car including my center caps. What does everyone think?
Does anyone have any pics of these emblems on their Silver Grey Metallic car? Thanks ahead of time!
