Looks legit. I wonder how much shipping costs.
Better jump on them soon.

I tried. Maybe my regional settings are preventing it from reaching the page. What is it?

It must be this grill.

That's cheap. Anyone ordering one?

I wish they come out with a carbon black soon.
Don't want to put a black one on a carbon black

X54TH · 05-06-2019, 04:05 PM

In the meantime I had this wrapped today.

SWBOS · 05-06-2019, 06:25 PM

Out of interest X54TH, how much was the wrap please? I expect it's either as or perhaps even slightly more durable than painted.

Thanks.

Originally they thought it would take under 2 hours but it took them just over 3 hours. These guys will want about $250 CAD.

bizfiend · 05-09-2019, 05:28 AM

Finally arrived today.
Black grille from eBay.
Perfect fitment and paint.

Ya.
$400 CAD Total including $50 customs tax.

A real steal for the Taiwanese quality and fast FedEx shipping, and I didn't have to be home to sign for it. They left it on the porch.
Installed 10 mins later.

I couldn't be more satisfied.

Now waiting for ceramic coating at the end of the month.

Quick question: Does anyone know if the eBay units are wearing better than the painted IND ones? I bought IND for my F32 and they were great....just don't want big paint chips after washing etc

I have had no issues with mine. It appears to be black plastic so even if it chips, it is still black.

gapmatt · 06-18-2019, 06:40 AM

My black sapphire x5 is due to be picked up in a week's time.
I'm looking to change to a black grill.

Does anyone have an idea on what the OEM black grills may cost? perhaps based on the previous gen X5? Are the ebay ones from Taiwan significantly cheaper?

ebay ones are around $230USD. I dont think i'd want to spend much more for OEM ones.
