i can also do pro vinyl for 300 with matte inlays and gloss border.

We sold out of the first batch of front grilles that we had in stock. Should have more arriving soon and then will get those into paint right away.

$500 is ridiculous. You can get ones for the F15 on eBay for $60-75, $99 for the genuine BMW one. There will be cheaper versions available for the G05 in the future, without doubt. I can wait.

Can of rustoleum gloss black paint with built in primer suitable for plastic, $5.99

Roll of masking tape, $2.99.

Hour of free labor (mine) and done...

I agree, the OEM part is at most $200 for both sides so I highly doubt paint + labor costs that much.

A local custom shop suggested plasti dip for the grill? I’m assuming there is a commercial grade and not the stuff you find on the shelf at Walmart. They did say it will not work on exhaust because of the temp but should be fine on grill. Anyone have experience with this product?

Any reason these are priced so high relative to the parts actual cost? I don't think paint, prep/labor + parts are more than 50% of the price... let alone the $89 for 3" of body colored paint in the middle

Thanks.

We will post the install guide shortly. The install is very similar to the X3 / X4 front grilles which can be seen in this video.

The main difference is that the G05 has a camera in the front which is held on by 3 tabs. These need to be released.

arciga18 · 12-28-2018, 12:13 PM

That x4 looks sick

Are you offering the g05 grill with the slats painted black but leaving the surround in chrome?

Yes that is one configuration we can do by request.

Factory chrome with gloss black painted slats with Black Sapphire center trim.

How do I get a price on that? But I don’t want the center strip painted, I want that left in chrome.

PM sent your way

I will make like I did with F15, I order the X5 M grill and hopefully will fit 😁

„The main difference is that the G05 has a camera in the front which is held on by 3 tabs. These need to be released. "

My thought is that the camera is only installed when you have ordered Surround View?

DrKevM5 · 12-29-2018, 12:28 PM

iND Style. Custom grille, front markers, blackout exhaust surrounds.

Works well with the wheels you got.

If I could get a red/ blue interior (like the new 3) I would get rid of of the g02.

Is that arctic grey ?
