I want to replace the grill and kidneys on my M5. Which aftermarket matte black inserts are the highest quality?

If you want matte black the ones from Trinity are great. if you want gloss black the only ones I've seen are BMW OEM from the dealer.

I think they are all from the same distributor, whoever that is. Can't be much variation of the kidney grills. Like corey said, can't go wrong with Trinity for matte ones

thinking of getting my oem chrome grills replaced too but not 100% if i should go for matte or glossy (black chrome)
the car is carbon black and my guess is that the glossy black would look nicer (and lasts longer) as the matte gets "dirty" with time due to weather and needs to be helped with trim cleaner all the time to keep its color.
anyone can share their experience with either of them?

If you want to purchase one, I'd go with Trinity. Many of them are the same but GUARANTEED Trinity wouldn't be getting you the cheap stuff. If you want OEM, just spray it with plastidip.
