Black M Style kidney grills for my 540

I just picked up an '18 540 with the M package last week and I'd like to black out the kidney grills.

1. Where's the best place to pick one of these up...if not from the dealer? I actually negotiated that they do it before I pick up the car, but the day I went to pick it up they said they didn't have any in stock. So they just took the $275 (their cost evidently) off the price of the car. I see them on eBay, but I don't want to get some POS cheap Chinese knock-off (unless you guys say they're still not bad). I believe I saw IND has them, but I think they were more than $275. I could always just go back to that dealer to get them at that price, unless I can find cheaper and double spoke.

2. Can I get the double spoke M style grill? Or am I replacing just the chrome trim when I go to do it? And would this affect the active venting flaps?

3. Best video to show how to swap them out myself? I imagine it's probably not too difficult, but with my luck I'll probably snap some vital plastic tab.

Thanks guys
