E55 front grill
I have been searching for either a carbon fiber front grill for my e55! Searched but still couldn't find what i needed!

The other option might be a painted one! Either one kind of floats my boat. I was looking on ebay and found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Carbon-Fiber-Gri...item335c9a4bb6

The big star isnt my cup of tea, i prefer a horizontal one all across.

it looks good but im scared that when i get it, the quality will be poor. (china ****) haha

So please members help me out

B...you can't try and contact DCT Motorsports and see if they can custom make you one or you can do a CF faux water transfer finish like I did...I dit the latter because at the time I didn't know of any manufacturer that could do a CF grill.

Hey B I would just paint your stock one. Beware of the cheap grills out there on eBay. I need to get my grill repainted so let me know and we can get a good price for the paint.
