I got something similar off Ebay, I'm happy with them. I left them unpainted, fitment was good. Plus I have the stock ones throw back on when needed.

Orrrrr, contact Trinity Autosport for a set of that in Matte Black with no fitment issues whatsoever and on top of that they are LOCAL to you so you don't have to worry about shipping or anything.

Bought from Trinity. It was fairly inexpensive and ok. Be careful of snapping the clips (I snapped one, but it was luckily in a place that did not matter).

You can't paint if you have a leased car. For $60-90, it is worth just buying one.

I am thinking about switching to carbon fiber as the black matte seems so boring. It looks like I have a 3-series from a distance.

I'm at work on a gov computer so i can not check the link to see if its the some company i ordered mine from. But i have purchased the matte black from nana post on ebay. excellent price $34.00 and free shipping. The fitmet was excellent too. I actually just ordered another set, but that's a long story in its self.

My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.

check out the DIY forum, alot of people (myself included) have posted up how-to's and it is extremely easy and gives you a great sense of satisfaction

we are fully stocked with matte black grilles, but be careful with paint, rocks might chip it away slowly
