Need a black grill

Looking for a black grill for my Jerez Black. The BMW one (performance parts) says it's gloss black - doesn't sound good - I'm thinking satin black. Where's the best place to get one? Are they straightforward to fit?
Thanks,
Mark

The performance grills are very nice. I personally think it's much nicer than the aftermarket gloss black and complements the shadow line trim. I don't know where you can get satin black unless you had it custom painted somewhere. IND can paint the grills any of the stock M3 colors so maybe check with them.

Unfortunately, no. But several vendors on this forum sell gloss-black side gills that match the BMW Performance grills perfectly. Try IND, EAS, or JLeviSW just to name a few.

Mine too. Though the gloss ones look best, they will chip when stones hit them, that's why I went matte.
