Would you mind snapping another pic from a little further back? I'm almost there in ordering a set but kinda want to see a larger profile view of most of the cars side.

thanks guys.
I bought it from eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/320600429906
I used Dremel 3000 https://www.google.com/search?q=Dremel (Search for a good price) you can use other tool too I guess.
the template is included for cutting... but the sizing is incorrect. Please follow Rizbel size: https://5series.net/forums/topic/114...ender-grilles/
btw much thanks to Rizbel.

Well if E can do it I can do it lol. You're correct, it's not that hard just scary as hell! No room to make a mistake on the high end of cutting because the hole will be too large and obviously won't be covered. This was my fear. The templates that come with this is total crap and useless so you will have to make another one. I used a combination of tools. A small air recip saw, drill, dremmel with a spiral cutter and a skill saw. I found the skill saw with a metal blade was the easiest and cleanest. I went with the carbon fiber trim grills. They were a bit more pricey, but I wanted a little more than just black. I used the same process as E so I won't post those pics.
