Looks like those E92 grilles are here

Just saw this on ebay, I am sure these are getting made in a chinese factory so I'd imagine we see these everywhere soon

Well if my hunch is correct and these are chinese made - every single vendor will be carrying these shortly bringing the price down

I also did the plasti dip paint on my e92 grills, and from about 10ft back they look great and dont ever seem to get rock chips, but the texture on them is horrible horrible horrible. They are very rough and almost fuzzy feeling. I actually tried painting these 3 different times, in hopes of getting a better result, and it is just terrible. I also have about 10 years of autobody painting experience using compressors and guns, yet I couldnt get a decent result out of this can to save my life
