Grill Surrounds

What are my options? I know IND sells the glass black surround, but I think I read somewhere they are painted and will chip easily. Not sure if thats true or not.

Def want to get rid of my chrome surrounds.

Thanks

IND offers a great product. We've seen no issues with chipping or flaking. Another solution is to take the 4 series grills sold by BMW and to swap the grill surrounds for the chrome ones found on the M4.

The grille surrounds we offer are OEM BMW and not painted by us. There is no chipping problems at all.

Thanks guys, IND it is then.

The M performance ones are too much money for what you get in my opinion. Are the 4 series any cheaper? Thats actually a good idea.

unless you buy the painted ones

hopefully my M3 is coming in the next 2 weeks and I plan to use IND for the grill surround and side logo, I like supporting local companies (we share a zip code), just not sure if I want to do the DCT surround in carbon fiber or not.
