I swapped my destroyed original ones with some cheap aftermarket, but they don't look right.

Are there any aftermarket ones that look good? What "color scheme" am I looking for?

I had a glossy black one from ECS 5 years ago. They looked fine to me and fitment was fine. Not what they have right now and what is the quality.
I switched back to OEM several years ago.

I keep buying the cheapo $20 eBay ones. The ones I have been getting look the same as OEM. Fitment is OK, although they don't last as long as OEM. But then OEM doesn't last long either to begin with. I might actually try OEM next time, I think over time the price for either will end up being about the same.

I haven't touched my OEM ones which were installed by PO a long time ago. Still tight

My OEM ones would keep falling out (broken tabs). The finish not lasting is an issue on the eBay ones (they also fall out eventually).

My original kidney grills started to fall out so I bought some aftermarket ones. I don't remember where I got them from or the brand. But, they stink. The tabs broke on them pretty quickly. I'm worse off now than the OEM grills. When I get the big stuff taken care of on my car, I'm going OEM on the kidney grills.
