Finally picking up my 2008 E90 328i on Friday morning, its the stock black and one of the first things I want to do is get the black kidney grills. any one know of a local spot I can pick them up at or should I just order them online? also any tips on what else should be essential cosmetic mods? keep in mind I have only an additional 2k this weekend

the cheapest and best way to do this is to go out and paint it yourself, i primered mine and flat blacked it and it hasn't peeled off it's been 2 years and counting

if you look for a set of used blacklines, they usually hover around $200. I just sold mine off - they were in perfect condition. not necessarily worth it to buy new ones IMO
