I dont think there's anything wrong with ebay grills...but i agree with lkwd318ti and would just paint yours. I did and am satisfied with the outcome. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

Just buy the e-bay ones, you can’t go wrong. I've had mine for a couple of years now they are still perfect. I wouldn’t recommend painting them yourself; they WILL chip in no time. $30-$40 bucks will get you a set from e-bay and you won’t look back. __________________  | | | | | 09-19-2006, 07:43 PM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Norfolk, Virginia Posts: 289 |

But id go with buying the product rather than ghetto rigging it. __________________ _____________________________________________

Get the ebay kidneys! I blacked out my kidneys by sanding the silver vacufoil off them, doing 2 or 3 coats of primer and 4 coats of flat black spray paint, and they were chipping from small stones being thrown up at my car from the roads within a week. I painted them three times until I bought the Bavarian Autosport black out kit for 40.00 on sale. | | | | | |
