Best quality matte kidney grill vendor?

48Laws · 01-03-2011, 08:32 AM

Sorry, the info I've read from searching is too conflicting. I've seen two vendors offer the same grille with a $30 difference between the two. Some support certain vendors, while others noted to avoid certain vendors. What's a good price point, best quality grille I have access to? Thanks.

I'm right there with you, I was going to order a genuine BMW product but it seems they don't offer matte black huh?

48Laws · 01-03-2011, 09:12 AM

I Know. I see JLevi offers an attractive one. Not sure about fitment though. The price is right, too, but I'll spend top dollar if craftsmanship is topnotch.

I think all the ABS matte grilles come from the same manufacturer.

Gracias!

AutoTecknic is the brand most if not all vendors on M3post sell.

48Laws · 01-03-2011, 04:43 PM

I see the same product being offered by different vendors at way different price ranges. WTF?

patrick1 · 01-03-2011, 05:45 PM
