^^^Negative??? Go here: http://accessories.bmwusa.com/Perfor...Selection.aspx

The BMW quoted price for OEM black grills is clearly stated. Now you CAN get them for less than that from vendors (Dan@unitedbmw for example) but the "quoted" price IS $55/side.....

I think he was referring to how other sites you can find them for significantly cheaper.

Are these selling yet??

HondaGoneRogue · 09-25-2008, 05:09 PM

Sorry for creating a stir, I was just pointing out that they are about the same price while it was said to be a lot cheaper than the dealer option. Thats all. I think either way is a very cheap and distinct mod. I love both the gloss and the matte. No use in arguing over a 75 dollar mod on a 40k car

I wish all my trim was matte so then I could do matte everything. It looks super hardcore!

$76 for OEM gloss (which is more likely to chip) or $70 (and cheaper shipping) for our Matte grilles - fitment is the same

Nah, shipping is free for the grills from Dan/United. Once you add shipping to the current price they will probably end up costing more from you guys. Also I'm not sure why OEM plastic (which is way too soft to chip anyway) would be more prone to chip than your plastic. :iono:

But, like Dan said above, gloss and matte are two different colors. People who want matte can go to you. Ill be keeping an eye out for the CF ones myself. :w00t:

HondaGoneRogue · 09-26-2008, 06:19 AM

CF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SV Concepts · 09-26-2008, 06:30 PM

Can't wait for these to come in

mistermojorizin · 09-29-2008, 10:14 PM

is each grill made of 2 pieces, like the stock grills?

SV Concepts III · 10-01-2008, 12:47 PM

Yep these are 2 piece and install just like stock

$110 - I think paid about $80 (shipped) for my OEM black ones.

I believe these are considered different, and specially made therefore it cost more...?

Kind of like some people paid more for metallic color BMW...
