They look cool, but probably too expensive for what they are. He must just buy them from the dealer and paint them. You could paint your own for less.

no these are not oem grills, they are black plastic not painted ,
I looked into painting them and yes you are right it would have been a bit cheaper, but i did not want to deal with rock chips on the painted ones, this way if a rock gets it, it will just nic it rather then show a diff. color through

Ah, I see. SO these are custom made plastic grills. Let us know how the fitament and quality are. Iwas planning on painting mine. Still expensive, but I guess if you have to manufacture these probably in fairly small numbers its bound to be expensive.

You sure of that?
Not a bad price.
The stock black slat ones retail for $50.25 retail each.
The stock chrome slot ones retail for $49.00 retail each.

As mentioned, the stock parts pricing is going up after being stable for years.
The M side gills are now $171.00 retail each.
The M side mirrors are now $251.00 retail each.
