I agree, there's a huge difference between these in matte black and glossy black. While I like the way my car looks with its OEM chrome grills, these might look really nice with my glossy black window trim and everything else...

True, but these are OEM and they are not Matte Black... Guess its a matter of taste...but a $140.00 is not much for a 60K plus car...
I always love everything OEM.

please post pics. I've been on the fence about getting these.
I don't care if they're a few bucks more, but the matte black rep grills I've seen do look cheap and/or have poor fitment. OEM is the only way to go.

Here are the pics of the Grills

I fell in love!
Think about, here in Germany you pay about 60? for reps in matte black, adding another 40 bucks and you can buy it OEM..
Well, I better wait until GF's birthday
( jan.16 )indeed it would fit perfectly to the high gloss window trim..

Kape60,
are the vertical bars of the grills also painted in gloss black? Or are they still in the normal black plastic?
I cant figure that out from the pics due to the reflection of the flash..
I once saw identical pics from a member who painted them glos black himself, I thought everything is painted gloss black, went over to buy them and only when I saw them realized that the vertical bars had not been painted..
Thanks

They are just black, not as glossy as the outside trim...
