I got mine from https://autotecknic.com/collections/...-f16-x6?page=4

Not cheap. But looks nice IMHO. There might be cheaper options on Chinese sites. The install was very easy.

Love mine - vast improvement over stock look. Got mine from eBay at a decent (but not cheap) price. Install of mine did not require removal of any parts…super easy.

Can you describe how you installed? I thought it required removing the wheel arches etc.

Yes, the OEM ones are single pieces that need to have access to the back of the black vent area to install. The ones I used (see below) are two piece so you install the black backing piece first with small screws into the existing holes in your M-sport grills (yup they are there - have a look) and then the whiskers snap onto the black pieces - they look great and are much easier to install. Think I paid $225 with some discount coupon a year ago.

Thanks! Did you install the open grills that go with them as well?

No, I stayed with the stock grills - in a hotter climate perhaps I'd change them out.

The ones I installed might be the same, but from a different vendor. They were also $250. If I recall correctly, I inserted a few anchors and the trim screwed into those anchors on the grill. Was super easy and I agree they look nice!
