Front grille differences

Iluvspl · 09-25-2014, 07:57 PM

Hey guys what is the difference from the bmw performance black grilles and the less expensive ones I am seeing all over for around $100 that are also high gloss? Is it worth spending the difference. Same goes for the side grilles as well I'm curious.

As a general rule (I say this from experience) you get what you pay for and if it's a cheap price then you are going to get cheap quality. If you can get the part you want in OEM the fitment will be perfect. If you can't get the OEM part try a company like IND as you will most likely get high quality (minus their carbon fiber mirror covers).

If you buy cheap stuff you will (in most cases) wind up with it not fitting worth a damn or the finish will be subpar and not hold up long term. Spend the extra money. Trust me on this.

I will say the black grills from IND fit perfect.

Yes. I actually got my grilles withOUT the M6 badge, as I wanted a cleaner look. Here they are on my car:
