    Yes.

    They are using brand new OEM 330i chrome cores and then painting them in house with a black chrome finish. I have dealt with IND's work on my E90 M3 as well as E46 M3 and they stand behind their product and quality.

    I ordered a set of these $39 ones for now. If they don't fit well I will have IND do a custom set for me.

    I think they look really good, but I can't fathom spending that much money on grills

    Not really an IND cost. Just true cost of producing a quality product.

    Even cheap body work is $70/hr for labor (prep/paint), the grills are probably $115/set, mix in cost of materials it's really not that expensive.

    But they're just grills... I'm just saying they're incredibly expensive compared to what else is available, especially considering they don't do anything functional.


    All you really need is a used set of grilles, some spray paint and clear, various pieces of sandpaper, and some time to put in for a quality sanding, painting, and clearing job. It's worth the extra time to put in to save a couple of hundred dollars.

    Man, ECS used to have great grills (I bought a set 2 years ago). They're great and $60... but I can't find the facelift ones anymore... they're gloss-black plastic; no paint to chip or fade.

    Pre-facelift...

    Anyone tried these gloss grills off ebay? Are they decent or a no-go?

    the only place on ebay that even has one or 2 is when things are posted from Latvia or Lithuania. they never post a picture, just a description and part # and last time i checked they only had a passenger side and then sold it. ive been checking by part # and description on ebay and google daily and have not seen a fill pair OR the rare passenger side one thats missing.

    ECS has the left side

    https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...t/51132158543/

    but no one has the right side

    https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...e/51132158542/

    anyways i was obsessing over the Performance BMW version so much but ended up just going Charlies Route of the Avin grills and man they are great.

    perfect fitment, no movement and the gloss is beautiful. at $39 its a no brainer.

    i ordered at like 12 midnight and they were shipped the next day from California.
