Where to get painted e92 kidney grilles?

Besides UED. They are obviously having some QC issues right now that they need to get worked out. Are they available anywhere else? Thanks!

Yes they are, I received some grilles from UED and was less than satisfied with their quality, the paint was bubbly and spotty, but decided to install them anyway..

guys its really not that hard to paint em yourself...If you use the right paint you can spray em in your garage..in a couple of hours...and they will come out mint..and you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you did it yourself.

I did mine 4 months ago and I do a ton of highway driving and I have not one chip scratch or bubble...I used very high quality paint, about 15 coats of it and I spent a good amount of time prepping them.

I promise if you are buying painted grilles from someone else they are not going to spend the time that you would...because they just wanna bang em out...quality control is always an issue...just do it yourself.
