Who makes the highest quality matte black kidney grilles?

Legion5 · 06-24-2012, 11:42 PM

I've heard that the JBspeed ones are the best but I thought I'd ask. I'm not looking for fully matte primer black, more satin like BMW's frozen black.

Anyone care to chime in?

Doesn't AutoTechnik make all the grills that vendors carry and paint?

If you could get me the part number that would be great, I've never seen these for sale though.

Those are the gloss ones. The only matte ones BMW makes are the ones from the GTS and those cannot be ordered.

The GTS comes with front and side Edition grilles (black chrome)
