Hi Guys,

Looking to buy the three red blue white stripes for the front grille on my car. Was wondering which ones i should buy, that are good quality and wont wear with weather easily. Thanks!!

I just got mine in the mail yesterday. Ordered them off of amazon for $20, they look great on the car. They are clip ons, so if you don't like them you can easily remove them. Perfect fit.

I ordered a set from eBay with the colors like Joe's (2nd post) and I returned them as soon as i saw that there was another seller selling them with a "Metallic" color look.

I just installed them today and i love them.

I'd say that the metallic ones have a more "Premium" look.

Heres a comparison, as I said... I went with the metallic look and Dual fins (f80) grill




Quick pic of my car.

I opted for vinyls from bimmian.com. A bit of a pain to put on but worth it

There are no metallic inserts... since the metallic colors are actually painted on a gloss black grill.
