Options for black kidney grill?

So, what are my options for the black kidney grill? I'm looking for matte black ones. I know there are the BMW performance ones, but looking at stock photos, they look glossy (slats + surrounds). However, I've searched the forum and it looks like many people have matte black ones. Is this just the picture, or is there a source for matte black kidneys? I've seem some on eBay but heard they have fitment issues....

Tried plasti-dipping my current ones black, but let's just say I should probably keep my day job...

eBay. That's where you'll find the matte black grilles.

Personally I prefer the gloss ones.

No reputable seller/maker creates matte black ones for the e89? Concerned about fitment issues from eBay.

I haven't seen the BMW performance gloss ones in person... but my concern is that the gloss won't match with the matte mesh on the bumper. Anyone with the M-Bumpers + Gloss Kidney can post up a pic?
