Tri-Color Blackout Gloss Grille Set

Hey!

So I got these grills last year for my car (https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ecs-part...h--slash--bk~/), which were amazing!

My car was since in an accident, and the grills were broken, but these are no longer available!

Aside from painting my OEM grills myself, anybody have any recommendations for similar or the same grills I can buy online?

Thanks!

Not finding any that are all in one without having to pay 80 dollars for shipping (I'm in NYC).

All others are inserts, which i can't imagine will look any good.

Any ones you might have any experience with?

Thanks!

I'll put in my 2 cents, but it's only an opinion:

These tri colored grilles on any BMW makes them look 'riced' out.

I've been thinking that more and more recently, but definitely still want to go for all black instead of chrome.

Then go for the gloss black double slat without the tricolour : all personal taste, I can't get with the tricolour either.

Agreed. But if that's the look you are going for, these certainly do the trick! I bet there are more creative ways to get the M stripes on the car, however. These are so common they don't make the car look good anymore. It just looks like a copycat mod at this point. Get creative OP!

The Amazon inserts are fine. I paid maybe $10 and they clip on. Normal people will not notice that the grille fin looks a little fat. Most of us aren't normal people about our cars but I think they look great. Let me know if you'd like a photo.

Just make sure you get the right ones, the OEM chrome grill has a different number of fins than the OEM black ones.
