Anyone used this seller on ebay to buy chrome grills for the E60? All of these non-OEM items seem to be ALL chrome ie. the inner blades are completely chrome. I believe on the OEM version, it is just the front faces of the blades that are chromed and the inner sides are black. Can anyone confirm and if so does it make these all chrome grills seem a bit to "bling"? 
I don't want to purchase them and be disappointed that they look too obviously fake and aftermarket.
An help would be appreciated.
