They're dreadfully overpriced. If the aftermarkets are the same quality, then there's no reason to spring the money on them. So far people seem to think the quality is the same...Quote:

The khoalty grills that the previous owner installed on my zhp are crap.
Saw that on FB Seth. Nice rigging.

I'm glad everything worked out with you, Devlin. But speaking from my own experiences with aftermarket grilles and lights, OEM is going to be the best quality and have the best fitment, it's something that I knew going into owning a BMW, and I am fully prepared to pay whatever it costs to avoid buying twice.
For the cost, why not plasti-dip them? Then you have OEM fitment, and a reversible black color.
I thought someone mentioned a "glossifier" of sorts for plasti-dip if you wanted a glossy look.

100% agree. 60 hour weeks have been kicking my ass for 3 weeks in a row now and it slipped my mind. It was also snowing so I'm sure I wanted to get back. My sincerest apologies.Quote:

My .02. I went OEM perf grilles and love 'em. I'm not OEM crazy but for certain things where fitment is key, I'd rather go OEM. I can't comment on the quality of the other types of grills as I haven't owned them. It was worth the extra coin for me to have the OEM peace of mind in this case. Also, buying another set keeps my original set ready to go if I want/need to switch back. As far as plasti-dip, I guess I'm just not down with that miracle in a can. Nothing at all negative to those who use it, I personally would just rather not on my car, so that wasn't an option for me. It's my guess (but I don't know) that the OEM Perf. Gloss Black would look better close up than the plasti-dip. To each his/her own though. :thumbsup EDIT: And as far as glossy, matte black would not look right on my jet black. If you don't care about glossy, that opens up options.
I have the khoalty matte grilles and have absolutely zero problems with them. Not a thing to complain about over here
I had Khoalty grills on my previous ZHP. Going to order them again next week.
^get the piano black ones! I wish I got them, but they literally updated their site with them the day I got and installed my matte ones. I was so mad since that's what I wanted and didn't want to spend the $$ on the performance ones at the time, so I settled for the matte.
Mine were OEM plastic dipped but it wasn't sticking well and I had a bunch of broken clips.Quote:
