I wanted to try matte black to match the lower bumper grill color and it actually looks pretty good in person. Since it's plasti dipped, I can have it removed anytime to have a bodyshop paint it gloss black or attempt the plasti dip glossifier to give it a shine. :-)

Haha I just appreciated the backup.
That's where the oil cooler was located on my prior turbocharged Bimmers as well.

Thank you!. This gave me the motivation to go wrap my grill. The vinyl has been in the garage for a month.

Looks really nice! Did the grill come with the trim piece that attaches to the bottom lip of the hood?

I am not sure...the ebay listing is $169 or something I believe? The ad stated that the seller didn't ship to Canada, so I just messaged him asking if he would. We didn't go through ebay and he sent me a Paypal invoice of $175 including shipping. Until then, I was contemplating if I wanted to get one but at that price, I couldn't resist. Got a DHL shipping notification this morning, the guy is fast. The seller is based out of BC and if I didn't live in Alberta, I'd just go and pick it up in person. lol.

Thought I'd post some pics for you guys. Got mine yesterday and installed it.
Fitment is pretty good for an aftermarket part but just a little off in this corner as you can see.
This side is good

Not really. I tried everything and that's just how it fits. You just have to come to terms with the fact that it is in aftermarket part and it isn't going to have as good of a fitment. It doesn't look bad at all and to a naked eye or someone who has no idea it's aftermarket, it wouldn't look odd or anything.
