I want to change out my Grille. Has anyone used either of these sites for a purchase:

http://www.modbargains.com/_e/Exteri...ies_and_M5.htm


http://www.eurosportdesign.com/p-155...y-grilles.aspx




If you have were there any problems with either the service or the product?

Thanks

IMO, for any other color than black, go with color matching grill for the outside and leave the inner stock or possibly black for more aggressive look.

Trinity carries them and they are a well respected vendor here. Why go elsewhere?
