I went with BMW grills when I swapped mine. If you shop the various online dealers you can find some at a discount.
The grills are a very "out front part" and I wasn't going to put in something cheap looking. |

I did the same, went with the "double" bar style in matte finish, no complaints on fit and quality.

No matter where you buy from, AliExpress or eBay, they come from pretty much the same factory in China. Just look for the cheapest. Think I paid $35 for double slats on AliExpress last year. Fit perfect and no issues since.

I did order a set of black double slat. Pretty inexpensive so if I don't care for the look it's a cheap experiment. I was thinking of a carbon fiber spoiler and the like, but I think I'll wait on that for now. Appreciate the recommendations!

I also added the CF spoiler. I got a compliment last time at the dealership on it.
It does block the rearview a bit more than stock when up. Not too big of a deal. If you install one, make sure to tape closed the drain holes until you have all the bolts back in. If you drop a bolt or washer down one, it triples the install time. Ask me how I know. |

I may wait for Spring as I hate doing anything on the car when it's cold. My garage isn't heated and I don't have much tolerance for cold in my old age. Luckily this winter has been mild and I had a 50F to change my oil lol. |
